Overview

• Legacy Cannabis began recreational sales at 4:20 p.m. Tuesday in Duluth’s Lincoln Park, becoming the first non-tribal dispensary licensed by the state to open.
• The shop is stocking products grown by the White Earth Nation’s Waabigwan Mashkiki, marking the tribal cultivator’s first wholesale partnership with a state-licensed retailer.
• State officials say 37 cannabis business licenses are approved, including 23 microbusinesses, with Legacy noted as the first microbusiness to secure product for sale.
• Green Goods started adult-use sales Tuesday at all eight of its Minnesota locations, while RISE is set to begin Wednesday in Brooklyn Park, New Hope and Eagan, with additional openings in Willmar and Mankato.
• Earlier supply shortages stemmed from Minnesota’s in-state cultivation requirement and concurrent licensing of growers and retailers, later eased by a compact enabling tribal wholesale to non-tribal shops.
