Key Points (Plain Language)

Adult-use legalized (2023): Minnesota’s framework sets possession and home/private-residence limits, product safety standards, and business licensing.
Personal possession—see §342.09: Examples include public-place and private-residence limits and concentrate thresholds. Review §342.09 directly for the exact text and any updates.
Rollout: Retail availability and licensing are phased; check OCM for current timelines and license types.
Impaired driving: Driving under the influence remains illegal. Follow state enforcement guidance and never drive impaired.
