Cannabis Possession Limits in Minnesota Explained

Know exactly how much cannabis you can legally possess at home and in public

Minnesota’s cannabis legalization comes with specific possession limits that every consumer should understand. At Forest Lake Dispensary, we want our Forest Lake community to stay informed and compliant. Here’s your complete guide to possession limits for all cannabis products.

Public Possession Limits

When you’re outside your home—in your car, walking around, or visiting friends—these are the maximum amounts you can legally possess:

Cannabis Flower

2 ounces

Approximately 56 grams of dried cannabis flower. This is enough for most personal use needs.

Concentrates

8 grams

Includes wax, shatter, live resin, and other cannabis concentrates.

Edibles

800 mg THC

Total THC content in edible products including gummies, chocolates, and beverages.

Vaporizers

2 grams THC

For vape cartridges and portable vaporizer products.

💡 Good to Know

These limits apply to adults 21 and older. You can possess multiple product types simultaneously, but each category has its own limit. For example, you could legally carry 2 oz of flower AND 8 grams of concentrates at the same time.

Home vs. Public Possession Limits

Product Type	In Public	At Home
Cannabis Flower	2 ounces (56g)	2 pounds (907g)
Concentrates	8 grams	Reasonable amount*
Edibles	800mg THC	Reasonable amount*
Vape Products	2 grams THC	Reasonable amount*
Pre-Rolls	Counts toward flower limit	Counts toward flower limit

*”Reasonable amount” generally means for personal use, not distribution. Keep receipts from licensed dispensaries.

Home Cultivation Limits

Minnesota allows adults to grow cannabis at home for personal use. Here are the cultivation limits:

Total Plants Per Household

Maximum regardless of how many adults live there

Mature Flowering Plants

Plants with visible flowers/buds

Immature Plants

Seedlings and vegetative plants

Home Grow Requirements

Plants must be grown in a secure, enclosed space
Not visible from public areas without optical aids
Must prevent access by anyone under 21
Landlords can prohibit cultivation in rental properties
Cannabis produced cannot be sold—personal use only

What Happens If You Exceed Limits?

Penalties for Possession Over Legal Limits

2-4 oz Flower (Public)

Petty misdemeanor. Fine up to $200, no criminal record.

4 oz – 2 lbs Flower

Misdemeanor. Up to 90 days jail and/or $1,000 fine.

2-6 lbs Flower

Felony. Up to 5 years prison and/or $10,000 fine.

Intent to Distribute

Enhanced felony charges. Penalties increase significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I combine limits? For example, carry flower AND edibles?

Yes! Each product category has its own separate limit. You can legally possess 2 ounces of flower, 8 grams of concentrates, 800mg of edibles, and 2 grams of vape products all at the same time.

Do pre-rolls count separately from flower?

No. Pre-rolls are counted as flower since they contain ground cannabis. A pre-roll weighing 1 gram counts as 1 gram toward your 2-ounce flower limit.

How do I prove my cannabis was legally purchased?

Keep your receipts from licensed dispensaries like Forest Lake Dispensary. All legal products also have compliant packaging with testing information and dispensary details. This documentation can help verify legal purchase if ever questioned.

What about CBD products?

CBD products derived from hemp (under 0.3% THC) are not subject to these possession limits. Only products containing THC above the hemp threshold are regulated under cannabis possession laws.

Can I transport cannabis in my car?

Yes, within public possession limits. Cannabis should be stored in a closed container and kept in the trunk or cargo area—not within reach of the driver. Learn more in our guide on traveling with cannabis in Minnesota.
