Minnesota marks legislation that will launch the state’s cannabis industry this summer
Recently enacted changes to Minnesota’s cannabis law will help expedite the launch of Minnesota’s new cannabis industry, with social equity applicants selected via a well-vetted lottery able to start their business operations earlier than had been allowed by the original law.
The legislation allows eligible social equity applicants to grow cannabis for the new market by the end of this year, helping ensure cannabis supply meets demand once retail sales start in 2025.
Governor Tim Walz signed the bill on May 24, 2024.
The final bill included many of OCM’s recommendations to build upon the structure of Minnesota’s cannabis law, including provisions to strengthen social equity, improve the application and licensing process, and enhance protections and build continuity for the state’s Medical Cannabis Program patients.
