Federal Marihuana Tax Act of 1937
The federal Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 effectively criminalized cannabis nationwide through prohibitive taxation. Minnesota's existing state-level prohibition was reinforced by this federal action.
The Marihuana Tax Act imposed a tax on all sales of cannabis, hemp, or marijuana, making it effectively illegal to possess or transfer without a tax stamp that was nearly impossible to obtain. This federal law reinforced Minnesota's 1935 state prohibition.
