ST. PAUL, MN / September 15, 2026 / WCCO – CBS Minnesota / Minnesotans have purchased more than $250 million worth of cannabis products since the state launched the licensed business market a year ago.
The figure represents $150 million worth of adult-use products and $100 million in medical cannabis products. Combined with lower-potency hemp edibles and beverages, sales have generated $45.6 million in tax revenue for the state, according to the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management.
“After visiting with business owners, local officials and community members around the state this year, I am more enthusiastic than ever about how Minnesota’s cannabis market is taking shape,” said the office’s director Eric Taubel.
In the last year, the state has licensed more than 300 new businesses, of which 43% are categorized as social equity applicants.
One of those new businesses is Theory Wellness in downtown St. Paul. After spending the last decade growing its business on the East Coast, they’re opening their first dispensary in Minnesota.
“Adults are looking for an alternative to alcohol to relax. People are looking for a better way to sleep at night. And some people just wanna have a little fun too, which is cool,” said Brandon Pollock with Theory Wellness.
