Loon Lab Extracts and Research on Main Street is Isanti's OCM-licensed cannabis microbusiness, specializing in hydrocarbon-processed live resin and cured resin concentrates. Open Wednesday through Sunday 10 AM to 6 PM, closed Monday and Tuesday. Phone: (763) 215-8828. Website: loonlabmn.com. Both adult-use and medical cannabis products are available.

What makes Loon Lab distinctive is its focus: this is one of the very few concentrate-specialist retailers in rural Minnesota. While most dispensaries sell flower as their anchor product, Loon Lab's roots are in extraction research. Their live resin, cured resin, and vape products are among the highest-quality concentrate options available outside the Twin Cities.

Isanti is located in Isanti County, about 45 miles north of the Twin Cities via US-169 or Highway 65. It serves as the primary licensed cannabis option for Cambridge (15 miles north), Elk River (18 miles south), Princeton (22 miles northwest), and rural Isanti and Kanabec counties. Inventory can be more limited than a larger chain retailer given the microbusiness model -- calling (763) 215-8828 to confirm specific product availability before visiting is recommended, especially for concentrate shoppers with specific preferences.

Medical patients benefit from the full state tax exemption; bring your Minnesota patient ID. All Loon Lab products are OCM-tested with lab results available on request. Rating: 4.9/5 from 38 reviews.
