Minnesota Marijuana Laws

As recorded December 15, 2025 · not verified as current law.

Cannabis laws in Minnesota follow Minnesota’s state law. Local variations are uncommon—jurisdiction law sets the baseline for legality and penalties.

Recreational and medical cannabis are legal for adults 21 and older. Licensed retail sales are permitted. While compliant use carries low risk under state law, cannabis remains illegal under federal law.

Legislative History

Minnesota legalized recreational cannabis for adults 21+ in 2023, allowing possession of up to 2 ounces in public (higher at home), home cultivation of up to eight plants, and licensed retail sales (which began rolling out in 2025). Medical cannabis has been available since 2014 through a regulated dispensary program for qualifying conditions.
