Minnesota legalized adult-use cannabis in 2023 through HF 100, codified at Minn. Stat. 342. Adults 21 and older may possess up to 2 ounces of flower in public and grow up to eight plants at home with four flowering. Public consumption rules track tobacco: smoking or vaping cannabis is prohibited in indoor workplaces, schools, on K-12 grounds, in motor vehicles, and on Hennepin County property. Minneapolis park and trail rules also ban cannabis combustion. Edibles in public are generally allowed. The Office of Cannabis Management oversees licensing.
Public cannabis smoking is a petty misdemeanor with a fine up to $300; using in vehicles or near schools brings higher penalties.
