Central Minnesota, The Wait Is Over

For years, the residents of St. Cloud, Waite Park, and Sauk Rapids have been stuck in a regulatory limbo. If you wanted legal cannabis, you either needed a qualifying medical condition and a state registry card to visit the limited medical dispensaries, or you had to drive hours north to the reservation.

That era ended on July 2, 2025.

Located at 141 33rd Ave S, Waabigwan Mashkiki St. Cloud is the first fully licensed, adult-use recreational dispensary to open its doors in the Granite City. We aren’t a medical clinic, and we aren’t a head shop selling hemp loopholes. We are a sovereign cannabis retailer offering high-potency, native-grown marijuana to anyone 21+ with a valid ID.

Whether you are a student at SCSU finishing up finals, a professional clocking out from a shift at CentraCare, or a weekend warrior heading out to the Quarry Park and Nature Preserve, we are your local stop for authentic cannabis culture.

Location & Convenience: The Division Street Corridor

We chose our location strategically to be the beating heart of St. Cloud’s retail district. We are situated in the commercial strip on 33rd Ave S, just seconds off Division Street (Highway 23).

Why this location matters for you:

• High Visibility, Easy Access: We are tucked away enough to provide discretion but accessible enough that you don’t need a GPS to find us. We are neighbors with local staples like Bravo Burrito (more on them later) and just blocks away from Crossroads Center.
• The “Hub” of Central MN: We aren’t just serving St. Cloud. We are the nearest recreational option for Sartell, St. Joseph, Cold Spring, and Foley. If you are driving through on I-94 or Highway 10, we are a simple detour that saves you the trip to the Twin Cities.
• Student Friendly (21+): We know the demographics. St. Cloud is a college town. We provide a safe, legal, and tested alternative to the campus black market. No sketchy meetups, just lab-tested products in a retail environment.

The Recreational Difference: No Medical Card? No Problem.

A common confusion we hear at the door is, “Do I need to sign up for the state list?”

The answer is No.

Unlike our neighbors at RISE or Green Goods, who have historically operated under the strictures of the Minnesota Medical Cannabis Program, Waabigwan Mashkiki operates under a compact between the White Earth Nation and the State of Minnesota.

• Open to All Adults 21+: All you need is a valid government-issued photo ID (Driver’s License, Passport, or Tribal ID).
• Privacy: We do not track you in a state medical registry. Your purchase is a retail transaction, similar to buying alcohol at a liquor store.
• Instant Access: There are no waiting periods or pharmacist consultations required. You can walk in, browse the menu, chat with a budtender, and walk out with product in minutes.

The Menu: What’s Growing in the Granite City?

Our St. Cloud inventory is curated to match the diverse “Huskies” vibe—ranging from budget-conscious bulk buys to top-shelf exotics.

1. The “Zips” Value Line (Student Favorite)

We understand that budget matters. Our Zips brand is designed specifically for the daily consumer who wants volume without sacrificing safety.

• The Deal: 1-ounce (28g) bags of popcorn buds or mixed-light flower.
• The Quality: It’s the same genetics as our premium line, just smaller nugs. Perfect for rolling your own joints or packing bowls for a group hang.

2. Native Cuts (Top Shelf)

For the connoisseur living in Sartell or the “Cannasseur” looking for specific terpenes.

• Genetics: Look for Truffle Monkey or Gastro Pop. These strains are pheno-hunted for high THC percentages (often testing 24-28%+) and robust terpene profiles.
• Presentation: Hand-trimmed, glass-cured, and sold in premium jars to preserve moisture and nose.

3. Minobii & Souree (Edibles & Drinks)

Not everyone wants to smoke.

• Minobii: Our THC-infused beverages are a hit for social events. Grab a 4-pack of the Grapefruit Limeade before heading to a backyard BBQ in Pantown. It offers a buzz similar to a light beer but without the hangover.
• Souree Gummies: Precision-dosed at 5mg or 10mg per piece. Ideal for dosing control.

The “Munchies” Guide: Support Local

One of the best parts of our location on 33rd Ave S is the food. We are big believers in supporting the local economy. After you stop by Waabigwan, you are perfectly positioned to satisfy the inevitable cravings.

• Bravo Burrito: Literally our neighbor. There is almost a spiritual connection between a fresh pre-roll of Lemon OG Haze and a Deluxe Burrito with their signature hot sauce. It is a St. Cloud institution.
• 7 West Taphouse: A quick drive down the road if you want a burger to go with your Minobii beverage (consumed responsibly, of course).
• Crossroads Center Area: You have every major chain restaurant within a mile radius, from Chipotle to Chick-fil-A.

Operational Realities: Taxes and Limits

We believe in transparency. When you shop at Waabigwan Mashkiki St. Cloud, you are participating in the regulated market.

The Price on the Tag vs. The Price at the Register:

As of July 1, 2025, Minnesota implemented a 15% Cannabis Gross Receipts Tax.

• The Math: If a bag of flower is listed at $40, you will pay the 15% Cannabis Tax + roughly 7-8% in State and Local Sales Tax.
• Why Pay It? You are paying for safety. Every batch we sell is tested for mold, pesticides, heavy metals, and potency. You are also paying for the legality—no risk of fines, confiscation, or legal trouble for possession.

Purchase Limits (Per Transaction):

• Flower: 2 Ounces (56g).
• Concentrates: 8 Grams.
• Edibles: 800mg THC total.
