This month marks two years since Minnesota lawmakers passed the bill to legalize marijuana use and possession for adults 21 and older.
Commercial sales have taken a bit of time to get going. Outside of Minnesota tribal communities and the medical cannabis program, the retail space is still taking shape.
The initial licenses around cultivation, transportation, distribution and sales could be issued soon. Even then, it will take time for everything to shake out.
What might it look like and how will the market interact with established tribal operations? MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst discusses both with his guests.
Then, time is flying by at the Capitol. We’ll get an update on the budget deliberations a little more than two weeks from the retired adjournment.
Guests:
- Melissa Olson is a reporter for the MPR News Native News Initiative and a contributor to the North Star Journey series. She is also an essayist and community archivist.
- Eric Taubel is the interim director for Minnesota’s Office of Cannabis Management.
- Senate Finance Committee Chair John Marty, DFL-Roseville
- House Ways and Means Committee Co-Chair Paul Torkelson, R-Hanska
