The Minnesota government is currently in the process of approving complete marijuana legalization, but for now, one may opt to get a medical marijuana card to alleviate their needs.

- Glaucoma
- etc.
Currently one may possess an amount of a 30-day supply of non-inhaled or herbal cannabis products. If you are unable to go to a dispensary, similar to states like Virginia, you can have a registered caregiver pick up medical marijuana for you.
