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.

    The problem is that if you get caught you can be charged a federal crime instead of with a state crime.

    Federal crimes include mandatory minimum sentences/jail time in addition to fines.

    Believe me, I have thought about making the trip elsewhere since my state will be the last to ever legalize. The closest legal place is 2.5 hours from my house.

    Me getting caught would screw up multiple lives including my own, however. Instead, I have to settle for the poor man’s stuff (delta8, delta9, etc) and only get the real stuff when I travel. The poor man’s stuff helps a medical condition I have, but is nothing like the real thing.

        I’ve had good results, but it’s really come down to finding a reliable place to buy and a good brand. Personally have been using Mellow Fellow’s carts, and they’ve been the best I’ve had outside of actual weed.

        Flower has been harder, admittedly. Knew of one place that had really quality stuff, but they’re pretty much going out of business now and there’s currently no news about what’s being done with their farm.

            I’ve tried all of their 4Mg dual-packs. The Picasso and Euphoria stuff. All of them are great combinations, either for swapping off mid session, or if you’re getting burnt out on the one you have running.

            That will last me ~3 weeks, give or take a couple days.

      I cant even get out of my state in 2.5 hours. Not sure how long I’d have to drive to get some legal weed.

        We should legalize it federally and then only allow commercial growing in the states that have already legalized it. Dont let them boost their tax haul for something they decided they didnt like.
