Minnesota Legalizes Recreational Marijuana, Becoming 23rd State to Do So

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed legislation allowing adults 21 and older to possess and use marijuana recreationally beginning August 1st.
Regulated sales at dispensaries are expected to begin in 2025.
Adults can possess up to two ounces in public and two pounds at home, as well as grow up to eight plants.
The law expunges low-level cannabis convictions and considers expunging or re-sentencing felony crimes.
Former Gov. Jesse Ventura joined Walz for the signing, advocating for the bill during the legislative session.
