Marijuana dispensaries are legal in Minnesota for adults 21+ under MN Statute Chapter 342. Waabigwan Mashkiki — the sovereign cannabis enterprise of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe — operates five open Minnesota dispensaries.
Marijuana dispensaries operate legally in Minnesota under MN Statute Chapter 342 (Cannabis Regulatory Act, effective August 1, 2023). Adults 21 or older with valid government-issued photo ID may purchase cannabis at any licensed marijuana dispensary — tribal-compact (Waabigwan Mashkiki and other tribal enterprises) or MN OCM-licensed. Waabigwan Mashkiki operates the Mahnomen flagship on the White Earth Reservation, plus Moorhead, Saint Cloud, East Grand Forks, and Chanhassen in the Twin Cities west metro. Every Minnesota marijuana dispensary operates under METRC seed-to-sale tracking, third-party lab testing, and the same single-day purchase limits (2 oz flower / 8 g concentrate / 800 mg edible THC per MN Stat 342.09). The 15% cannabis tax (MN Stat 295.81) applies at every adult-use dispensary in the state.
