A Message From

Our President

Cannabis policy reform is our opportunity to invest in those most harmed by the unjust war on drugs. While the legislature has done their part in passing cannabis legalization in 2023, we as Minnesotans have much work to do to ensure we have the most equitable cannabis industry in the entire nation.

Through education, we can begin repairing the harms of decades of cannabis prohibition.

– Tanner Berris, President
