Senate passes recreational cannabis bill in late night vote
The Senate signed off on a bill to legalize cannabis for adults 21 and older starting this summer. WCCO’s Caroline Cummings explains the long road to get here and what’s next for the historic change to the state’s drug policy.
MN medical marijuana is a joke, expensive to be a card holder, and insanely high prices at dispensaries.

Just adding more to Democrat addictions to over addiction they cannot control. Tobaccos bad, marijuana good. Welcome to the new killing fields.
Proud to be a Minnesotan,, and this would have never happened under right wing leadership.
People already smoke and drive 😅😢
Congrats to Minnesota!
Those republicans are throwing themselves straight under the bus for young voters. I am not dedicated to any one party but the anti cannabis idiots are not getting any of my, or my friends votes.
YaY!😍😍😍😍
Congratulations MN! Welcome to the 420 club!
Great Job guys you worked tooth and nail for this
the law is the same as drinking alcohol..just do it at your house and not in public…these people at the capital that voted no should not be drinking any alcohol if they think weed is so bad…gtfoh
It’s time Minnesotans!
In California its legalized so i dont see why it cant be in all states.

Yes sir look out for DROOLY extracts, we are going to be specializing in concentrates, rosins and hashish!
Then what ?
And if people hate it, move.
Legalize cannabis federally within each and every state. This way, irrational prohibitionist politicians can’t obstruct and prevent legalization against the will of the vast majority of Americans whom support full federal cannabis legalization nationwide. Treat cannabis exactly like we treat far more dangerous and deadly yet perfectly legal alcohol. Legal in all states.
Legalise cannabis in theUK.
_"“In strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume. For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."_
*- Francis Young (DEA Administrative Law Judge – 1988])*
_"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use…”_
*- Jimmy Carter (U.S.President)*
_“Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana… We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society.”_
*- Dan Quayle (U.S. Representative & Vice President)*
_"Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could."_
_“The anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies, undermining law enforcement, aggravating the drug problem, depriving the sick of needed help and suckering well intentioned conservatives and countless frightened parents.”_
*- William F. Buckley Jr. (American conservative author & commentator)*
_"The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world."_
*- Dr. Carl Sagan (American Cosmologist, Astrobilologist, author & science communicator)*
_“You bet I did -— and I enjoyed it.”_ ….when asked if he had ever smoked marijuana.
*- Michael Bloomberg (New York City Mayor)*
_"Studies have consistently failed to establish the existence of a link between the harshness of a country’s drug laws and its levels of drug use."_
*- Kofi Annan (U.N. Secretary General)*
_"Pot is a better drug than alcohol. I’ll prove it to you. You’re at a ball game or a concert, and someone’s really violent and aggressive and obnoxious, are they drunk or are they smoking pot?"_
_“Why is pot against the law? It wouldn’t be because anyone can grow it, and therefore you can’t make a profit off it, would it?”_
_“…It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit … unnatural?”_
*-Bill Hicks (Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-Up Comedian)*
_"If the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" don’t include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn’t worth the hemp it was written on."_

THIS MUST HAVE BEEN MOTIVATED BY THE TEACHER’S UNION! NOTICE THEY NEVER DRUG TEST TEACHERS????
2 pounds (900 grams) of weed legal in every home?? HELL OF A WAY TO CREATE DRUG DEALERS IN MN DFL SCUM BAGS!
Anyone remember prohibition? it still doesn’t work!
Still going to do it wrong. Yes the Cookies dipencery and the colorful fruity packages will put joints in the kids hands. Anything for the money even at the kids expense. Complete hypocrisy with greedy bureaucrats. Enjoy your Mcdonalized marijuana cheesbuger Minn. Its sickening. Legalize and let it go to the people!
It’s about time, I mean, with all the potholes, that are begging to get filled. 🤪🪴
Weed is legal but you can’t smoke in public?
"When you do something for the people, it will hurt you in the polls." Signed, the Trumplicans.
Great job MN!
I never liked Walz that is until now 😶🌫
Well, I lived long enough to see it come into fruition. It never should’ve been illegal in the first place. Think about how many people’s lives have been negatively impacted by Marijuana convictions?
My kids are grown, my house is empty, and I’ve been wondering about edibles for years now after seeing them elsewhere online. Seeing as how I’m not too keen on picking up smoking again I like the idea of eating a gummy bear and and watching a movie on a Friday or Saturday night just chilling. I’d rather eat a gummy than drink alcohol.
I’m looking forward to stepping foot in a herb store.
Walz did alright on this one.
