Our Mission
Minnesota legalized the adult use of cannabis in 2023, but that was just the beginning. As we’ve seen after nearly a century since alcohol prohibition ended, lawmakers will continue to make changes to Minnesota’s cannabis laws.
MN Cann Political Action is committed to shaping the future of Minnesota’s cannabis industry through strong advocacy, strategic political engagement, and support for candidates who prioritize a safe, sustainable, equitable, and vibrant local cannabis market, as well as continued drug policy reforms that address and undo the harms caused by prohibition.
MN Cann Political Action builds on the political and voter engagement work of MN is Ready, the statewide coalition and campaign that helped deliver a pro-legalization majority to the Minnesota Legislature in 2022.
