Bill Legalizing Recreational Use of Cannabis Signed into Law - 05/30/23

Beginning August 1, Minnesota residents will be able to legally use and possess marijuana without facing a criminal charge. At a State Capitol ceremony Tuesday, May 30, Governor Tim Walz signed into law the bill legalizing adult-use cannabis.

An Office of Cannabis Management will be established to regulate the industry, and a ten percent tax will be charged on recreational cannabis sales. The new law will allow sales for adult-use cannabis beginning in early 2025. Grants are provided for cannabis growers, along with the funding of substance abuse treatment and prevention.

The new also creates a process for the expungement of non-violent marijuana possession convictions.
