2024 Cannabis banking in Massachusetts: Current rules and regulations

As of August 1, 2023, recreational cannabis use is legal in Minnesota, following the signing of House File 100 by Governor Tim Walz on May 30, 2023. This law legalizes the use, possession, and home cultivation of cannabis, though commercial sales licenses are expected to be delayed until 2025, aside from tribal nations. Minnesota residents 21 and older can purchase and possess up to 2 lbs. of marijuana flower at home (2 ounces in public), 8 grams of concentrate, and 800 mg of infused edibles. Home cultivation of up to 8 plants is allowed, with a maximum of 4 flowering at any time, and gifting within legal limits is permitted.

Decriminalization efforts began in 1976, and medical marijuana was legalized in 2014, though with strict regulations. Efforts towards recreational legalization gained momentum with the election of Governor Walz in 2018, who supported cannabis legalization for tax revenue benefits and reducing drug offense incarcerations. Despite opposition and delays, the push for legalization culminated in the passage of HF100 in 2023.

This legislation establishes the Office of Cannabis Management to regulate the industry, introduces over 12 license types for commercial operations, and adds a 10% sales tax on cannabis products. It also focuses on social equity, offering expungements for past possession convictions and support for entering the cannabis market. Additionally, the University of Minnesota announced the creation of a cannabis research center in November 2023.
