US EditionMinnesota signs third Tribal-state cannabis compact
The compact enables partnerships between Prairie Island Tribe and state cannabis businesses while safeguarding Tribal sovereignty in Minnesota’s expanding recreational cannabis market.
- On Monday, Oct. 20, Gov. Tim Walz signed a cannabis compact with the Prairie Island Indian Community, marking the third Tribal-state cannabis compact in Minnesota.
- The 2023 Minnesota Legislature legalized cannabis and directed Governor Tim Walz to negotiate agreements with Tribal Nations, with the Office of Cannabis Management saying compacts promote public health and regulate the market.
- The compact provides state-licensed cannabis businesses the opportunity to partner with Prairie Island Indian Community and allows sales while maintaining the Tribe's inherent sovereignty.
- Sales off tribal lands will face all state and local taxes, including 6.875% sales tax, the cannabis tax is 15% of gross receipts, and retail limits set one location per city, three per county, and eight off-reservation sites per Tribal Nation.
- Drawing on decades of experience, officials said systems build on 40 years of Tribal regulation and the state previously signed compacts with White Earth Nation and Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.
