Cannabis in Minnesota

Governor Tim Walz celebrates the signing of House File 100 to legalize recreational cannabis in Minnesota with lawmakers and former governor Jesse Ventura (May 2023).

Cannabis in Minnesota is legal for recreational use since August 2023. Governor Tim Walz signed House File 100 on May 30, 2023, legalizing the use, possession, and cultivation of cannabis within the state.[1] The state's new Office of Cannabis Management will establish a regulatory framework for commercial cultivation and sales, with exceptions for tribal nations.[citation needed]

Minnesota law permits adults who are 21 years of age or older to purchase and possess up to 2 pounds (900 g) of marijuana flower (2 ounces [57 g] in a public space), 8 grams (¼ oz) of concentrate, and 800 mg of infused edibles in a private residence. Growing at home is permitted, as long as the plants cannot be seen from outside.[2] Individuals may cultivate up to eight plants, with only four flowering at once. Adults who are 21 years of age or older may also gift each other any amount up to the legal limit.[3]
