Minnesota Senate Narrowly Approves Recreational Cannabis Legalization Bill

The Minnesota Senate has voted 34-33 to legalize recreational cannabis for adults 21 and older, with a 10% tax on cannabis products and a provision allowing people to have up to 5 pounds of cannabis in their home. Local governments would also be allowed to limit the number of cannabis businesses. Expungements would go into effect in 2025. The bill will now go to a conference committee to work out differences with the House version before heading to the governor's desk.
