Who Qualifies for Medical Cannabis in Minnesota?

Previously, only patients who were diagnosed with one of the qualifying conditions were eligible to receive medical cannabis in Minnesota.

Effective July 1, 2024, the definition of qualifying medical condition will change to include any condition recommended, approved, or authorized by a person's health care practitioner.

This change means if you are a legal Minnesota resident and were previously ineligible for medical cannabis, you might now qualify.
