Minnesota is one of the latest states to join the recreational movement in 2023. While state-run dispensaries aren't expected to open until 2025, you can buy legal recreational cannabis from native American lands, as tribal sovereignty allows them to sell recreational cannabis. In Minnesota, adults aged 21 and older can possess and travel within the state with up to 2 ounces of cannabis flower, 8 grams of concentrate, and 800 milligrams worth of THC-containing edible products. They can have up to 2 pounds of cannabis flower at home. For medical marijuana, legalized in 2014, patients are allowed a 30-day supply of non-smoking marijuana.
