Minnesota

Minnesota legalized medical cannabis in 2014 under the Minnesota Medical Cannabis Act and adult-use cannabis in 2023 through HF 100, signed by Governor Walz on May 30, 2023. The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) was established to regulate all commercial cannabis activity. Adult-use retail sales launched in September 2025, making Minnesota one of the most recent states to begin commercial operations. As of early 2026, there are 96 licensed adult-use retail sites and 19 medical retail sites, with 135 total cannabis business licenses issued. The market generated $122.5 million in combined sales across 1.2 million transactions in its first year. Over 55% of licenses were issued to social equity applicants. The OCM launched the Cannabis Market Monitor dashboard providing monthly public data on sales, licensing, and harvest statistics. Minnesota imposes a 10% state cannabis tax.
