The Minnesota cannabis program is online and rolling out slowly. Too slowly, in this writer’s humble opinion. That said, a handful of tribal dispensaries have been operating since 2023, and adult use sales at non-tribal shops began in September 2025.
To the good, sales are ticking up each month. In April, the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) tracker showed $15M in collected revenue from adult-use sales, and $10M in collected revenue from medical sales. This steady improvement, along with Minnesota’s robust population, regulatory philosophy, and the income tax relief that may come with federal rescheduling, make it an interesting time for a cannabis licensing play in the North Star state.
