Minnesota Senate passes bill to legalize adult-use cannabis

ST. PAUL, Minn. (KTTC) – The Minnesota Senate voted Friday to advance the legalization of adult-use cannabis in Minnesota.

The Minnesota Senate passed the bill with a 34-33 vote.

Earlier this week, the Minnesota House passed its bill with a vote of 71-59, gaining support from a handful of Republican lawmakers.

Next, the bill will go to a joint committee to iron out differences with the version passed in the Minnesota House.

Then, the bill will return to the House and Senate for a final vote before it goes to the desk of Governor Walz.
