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.
