Minnesota: marijuana laws

Whether marijuana is legal in your state for recreational use, medical use only, low-THC products only, or not at all.

Legal statusRecreational and medical
What it meansAdults 21 and older can buy and possess marijuana under state law; medical use is also allowed.

Marijuana remains illegal under federal law, although in April 2026 the federal government moved some state-licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III. Driving while impaired is illegal everywhere, and employers may still test and discipline.
