Our Work
The Founding Coalition Members have worked extensively on cannabis law reform in Minnesota. We have a track-record of coalition building to pass monumental legislation in Minnesota to change how Minnesota treats cannabis consumers. Collectively, we have focused on collaborative efforts to reform Minnesota’s medical cannabis and hemp laws, and worked to build support for full legalization beginning with the introduction of legislation in 2017, and most recently, seeing full legalization passed in the Minnesota House of Representatives with a bipartisan majority.
Policy Victories
Members of the MNisReady Coalition have chipped away at cannabis prohibition in Minnesota for the past decade making significant improvements to a poorly designed medical cannabis program, championing “fix-it” legislation, collaborating to make hemp-cannabinoid consumers safer and the industry more stable, and historically passing the first full cannabis legalization in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
