What’s called an “expedited comment period” opened Monday for recreational marijuana in Minnesota. But how close are we to actually seeing cannabis businesses open up? As Jason Rantala found out, the timing is still cloudy.
This just shows how inept MN government is. They can’t figure something out that has already been figured out.

Stop rigging the system for corporate interests and let dispensaries open already!
@stevebrown7271on February 1, 2025 at 4:35 am
Im thinking this might have something to do with the fact that our lieutenant governor is a member of the white earth band
@afmoney161on February 1, 2025 at 4:36 am
How hard is it to mirrior another states legisaltion that already had recreatuonal for a while? Leave it to our states government to over complicate tf out of everything!
@JackStraw1961on February 1, 2025 at 4:36 am
At least ten years yet. ;^{
@goatlandia8457on February 1, 2025 at 4:36 am
Halt the sale of alcohol until these stores open. Guaranteed they will be open in less than two weeks.
@La-di-da-e6lon February 1, 2025 at 4:40 am
So basically almost 4 years into legalization before we MIGHT see a dispensary actually open 🤦🏻♀️🙄
@chrisrobbins9058on February 1, 2025 at 4:40 am
They ain’t going to let it start anytime soon.
Not hard to follow Colorado
@bongjoveeon February 1, 2025 at 4:44 am
remember when they opened up applications for POC to be a part of this, then closed them and deleted the 1000’s of applicants? i do. remember when the city council of mpls stole 41million in covid funding? i do. i lived in Oregon when marijuana became legal, and stores open that very same day. Meanwhile in Minnesota three years later we have nothing. It’s either racism or corruption or both.
@barhartt989on February 1, 2025 at 4:45 am
Plz hurry up !
@ry7410on February 1, 2025 at 4:46 am
I understand medicinal users need for testing but corporate cannabis can kick dirt. Everyone will know a grower or be a grower by the time stores open up.
Theres nothing like consuming the produce you grow yourself and sharing it with others. Grow your own.
@stephenreichel8678on February 1, 2025 at 4:47 am
DEM run MN govt..they are a complete contradiction
@mattschuver4440on February 1, 2025 at 4:52 am
When Missouri is ahead of marijuana before Minnesota you have a HUGE problem. No offense Missouri 😉love you weed and scenery and people.
@thomastherriault8632on February 1, 2025 at 4:54 am
Its the blind leading the blind in Minnesota government, it took 150yrs to approve Sunday sales for alcohol, so by time they open up the dispensaries, unfortunately we will all have passed. 🤷

What’s hard about this other than DEI.
@artfuldodger258on February 1, 2025 at 5:01 am
Slowest roll out of any legal state revenue lost for whole state 😢
@NadiaSeesIton February 1, 2025 at 5:02 am
I hope they never sell weed – it ruins states like Colorado and New York.
@yeahletsunpackthaton February 1, 2025 at 5:03 am
Not soon enough…
@politedemonson February 1, 2025 at 5:07 am
I can drive two hours to Michigan and get top-shelf concentrate for under $15 a gram. Michigan prices will never be beaten. Go to the Mitten, and you can get 200mg edibles for a couple of dollars. In Minnesota they will charge you over $30 for just 50mg.
@matt7802on February 1, 2025 at 5:08 am
Just copy Canada, easy. All the rules and laws are written already.
@nebel-i5won February 1, 2025 at 5:08 am
Haha. Just messaged my dad about this legalization twenty minutes ago
@Phishiephanon February 1, 2025 at 5:10 am
Ya’ll not aware of the buses going to and from Michigan? You don’t even have to go just put in an order.

Later this year? It’s been 2 years, this is what the 2 years were for… ffs
@TheRezpensaryon February 1, 2025 at 5:11 am
Ask a Red Laker how we did it. Or better yet, stop in!
@Jimwentenon February 1, 2025 at 5:12 am
People have been selling weed for years all over the United States. Now they are trying to figure out how to make it legal.
@PatrickJames1970on February 1, 2025 at 5:13 am
I mean, dude. WTF? Could you be any slower? You have one job…………SELL WEED. You incompetent fools.
@GoofyGraham1337on February 1, 2025 at 5:14 am
Citizens should sue the state for not meeting the requirements, which were 360 dispensaries by 2025
@Asseatingdudeon February 1, 2025 at 5:15 am
Hurry up we need it now!
@nazikiller0164on February 1, 2025 at 5:15 am
Illegal pot dealers are doing high fives. 😂
@Filling_tagson February 1, 2025 at 5:15 am
The government took so much money for permits and applications from the people who jumped through all the hoops to open a store! Then told them oops sorry you can’t open. What an absolute joke…
@guymann4016on February 1, 2025 at 5:18 am
Who needs dispensaries? Everyone I know who uses cannabis grows…myself and soooo many others have almost too much. It’s coming out our ears.
@mhoff5777on February 1, 2025 at 5:19 am
Tampon Tim is not doing his job in seeing that the Recreational dispensaries are open on time.
@Smoky_SYLMon February 1, 2025 at 5:21 am
They are gonna be busy. I hope they have the supplies for the demand.
@GehennaSagaon February 1, 2025 at 5:22 am
Our government representatives need to put the bong down and do their job.this is insane how we still don’t have dispensary
LET THEM SELL!
