    It is a priority



  3. Ant on October 15, 2021 at 9:28 am

    Legalize it. Bring back the money the state lost over all of these settlements. Make everyone happy. The medical is a joke. I’d take my 200$ you want for 1 gram of oil and drive to Denver, back again

    "Legalizing recreational marijuana would bring in an estimated 60 million dollars in revenue"
    "I want to focus on balancing the budget without raising taxes, so this isn’t a priority"
    I’m really struggling to see how he doesn’t see the obvious connection here…



  5. Brown Boi on October 15, 2021 at 9:31 am

    If a priority is balancing the budgets how isn’t increasing tax dollars brought in a priority? Mn is literally missing out on potentially millions in tax revenues if marijuana was legal recreationally for us Mn residents………

    Legalize it and release all the people we’ve jailed for smoking it or having it.

    Currently medical cannabis at dispensaries here in Minnesota all insanely overpriced one cartridge will cost you $200. In other states one cartridge will cost you $15-$25.
