Governor Walz Signs HF 100 — Adult-Use Cannabis Legalized
Governor Tim Walz signed HF 100 on May 30, 2023, making Minnesota the 23rd state to legalize adult-use cannabis. The law allowed adults 21+ to possess up to 2 ounces of cannabis flower in public and up to 2 pounds at home, grow up to 8 plants (4 flowering), and established the Office of Cannabis Management to oversee a regulated commercial market.
HF 100 legalized adult possession and home cultivation effective August 1, 2023. It created a comprehensive regulatory framework including: 15 license types, a social equity program prioritizing applicants from communities disproportionately affected by cannabis prohibition, automatic expungement of certain prior cannabis convictions, local government authority to regulate time/place/manner of businesses, a 10% gross receipts tax, and the establishment of the Office of Cannabis Management as the primary regulatory agency. The law also brought the existing hemp-derived THC market under OCM authority.
