Overview

• Legacy Cannabis opened Tuesday at 4:20 p.m. in Duluth’s Lincoln Park, becoming the first state-licensed non-tribal dispensary and selling White Earth Nation’s Waabigwan Mashkiki products.
• Green Goods began adult-use sales Tuesday at all eight of its Minnesota locations, and RISE launched recreational sales Wednesday at five sites in Brooklyn Park, New Hope, Eagan, Willmar and Mankato.
• Minnesota’s rule that shops sell only in-state cannabis contributed to early shortages, which eased after a state-tribal compact enabled tribal wholesalers and regulators licensed the two medical providers for adult-use sales.
• The Office of Cannabis Management reports 37 approved business licenses statewide, including 23 microbusinesses positioned to offer retail sales.
• White Earth’s cultivation arm is fielding multiple supply requests daily, and Legacy’s founder says the shop will emphasize education and reducing stigma alongside retail sales.
