Cannabis in Minnesota

Cannabis in Minnesota is legal for recreational use as of August 1, 2023. On May 30, 2023, Governor Tim Walz signed House File 100 into law, legalizing the use, possession, and cultivation of cannabis within the state. Licenses for commercial sales will likely not be issued until 2025 (with the exception of tribal nations), in order for the Office of Cannabis Management to establish regulatory frameworks.

Minnesota law permits adults who are 21 years of age or older to purchase and possess up to 2 lbs. of marijuana flower (2 ounces in a public space), 8 grams 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. Individuals may cultivate up to 8 plants, with only 4 flowering at once. Adults who are 21 years of age or older may also gift each other any amount up to the legal limit.
