Where can you legally smoke recreational cannabis? Can you grow cannabis in your home? Is it OK for Wisconsinites to buy marijuana in Minnesota and bring it back home? Here are answers to all your questions about the new law.

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.

    What’s legal

    Adults 21 and older can possess and travel in the state with 2 ounces of cannabis flower, 8 grams of concentrate and 800 milligrams worth of THC-containing edible products such as gummies and seltzers. They can have up to 2 pounds of cannabis flower at home.

    Low-potency edibles made with THC from industrial hemp were legalized last year. They’ve been subject to a 10% marijuana tax since July 1. That tax will apply to other marijuana products as they become licensed for sales, but not on sovereign tribal lands.

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

                No need for a PhD from a prestigious university, a lengthy career in the Air Force piloting highly dangerous experimental airplanes, followed by many years of training to become the best of the best and make it as an astronaut. You can just walk into your local dispensary, buy $160 worth of edibles (not forgetting to tip your budtender, of course), chow down on a metric shit load of gummies, and be on the moon in no time!*

              I accidentally took 500 once and had a friggin out-of-soul experience. Shit was wild and absolutely terrifying.

        That’s the weight of the THC dose, not the total weight of the whole product containing the dose.

          Well, it’s not written that way.

          800 milligrams worth of THC-containing edible products

          That’s different from “800 mg of THC in edible products”. You can have 800 mg of THC in 100 g of THC-containing edibles. The way it’s written in the law matters a lot. If it’s written like above, edibles are basically illegal.

            I think that is just how the article described it.

            The actual bill says:

            …possess or transport edible cannabis products or lower-potency hemp edibles infused with a combined total of 800 milligrams or less of tetrahydrocannabinol

            Your point is further bolstered by the fact that many departments weigh the entire product when charging people with possession. Your 1lb tub of bud butter may only contain 1g of THC but they’re going to charge you with possession of 1lb of concentrates.

        That’s like 8 whole packs of gummies. If you eat 800mg you’re about to send yourself to the shadow realm.

        Edit: oh wait…

        800 milligrams worth of THC-containing edible products

        That is very weirdly worded. If we’re talking about the weight of the product and not the dose then that’s really stupid.

          I’m just picturing all the stories of people “accidentally” eating an entire 100 mg chocolate bar after being unable to wait an hour for it to kick in, and then imagine those schmucks taking 8x that dose.
