Minnesotans are now able to legally possess and grow their own marijuana for recreational purposes, after the Minnesota Legislature approved a 300-page bill earlier this year, and Gov. Tim Walz signed it into law shortly thereafter. It became official Tuesday.

    Here I am in Iowa, just surrounded by states that have legalized… like being in a dry county, whatever am I to do? 😏

      In Wyoming and I feel the same. Other states are making money while mine is spending money arresting people.

      Well DEFINITELY don’t you dare drive to one of those said states to aquire any marijuana. That would be exceedingly naughty.

          The problem is that if you get caught you can be charged a federal crime instead of with a state crime.

          Federal crimes include mandatory minimum sentences/jail time in addition to fines.

          Believe me, I have thought about making the trip elsewhere since my state will be the last to ever legalize. The closest legal place is 2.5 hours from my house.

          Me getting caught would screw up multiple lives including my own, however. Instead, I have to settle for the poor man’s stuff (delta8, delta9, etc) and only get the real stuff when I travel. The poor man’s stuff helps a medical condition I have, but is nothing like the real thing.

      How many grams of concentrate can you have at home? Seems weird that the limit would be 8g walking around and in your house.

      Just got back from Minnesota but I’m in Illinois so I just smuggled my own medical stuff across state lines, through Iowa and Wisconsin. Next time I’ll be able to buy some there and not have to worry about federal prison over a plant 😎
