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.

The local count was three or four roving officers on either side of Highway 5. Minnesota has since introduced regulated adult use, as covered in Marijuana Laws.
