Why a National Cannabis Company Took Interest in Minnesota
January 13, 2022
From an outsider’s perspective, Minnesota’s medical cannabis market probably doesn’t seem like the most promising business opportunity. Today, the state’s medical cannabis program serves just shy of 30,000 patients, a small fraction of the 5.7 million people living here.
Compare that to a place like Oklahoma, which legalized medical marijuana just three years ago and already has hundreds of thousands of residents enrolled in its program. Though Minnesota’s medical cannabis program has been in place since 2015, it’s much more restrictive than programs in other states, even historically red states like Oklahoma and North Dakota.
