SAINT PAUL, Minn. (May 14, 2021) Yesterday, the Minnesota House passed a bill to legalize marijuana for adult use in the state despite federal prohibition on the same.
On February 1, House Majority leader Ryan Winkler and a coalition of 35 Democrats introduced House Bill 600 ( HF600 ). The legislation would not only legalize recreational marijuana use for adults 21 and older, but it would also allow for adults to legally posses up to ten pounds of marijuana in a private residence, up to 2 ounces in public, and to home cultivate up to 8 plants (up to four mature) for personal use.
All of this is illegal under federal law.
This legislation would require the creation of a regulatory board, as well as an advisory council for the prevention and treatment of substance abuse disorder. It would also allow for expungement and re-sentencing of certain convictions.
In an unusual move likely intended to stall and derail the legislation, HF600 had to pass through 12 different committees before the full House could consider it. In most situations, a bill rarely has to go through more than three. On the house floor, the bill went through hours of debate that sometimes ventured into hostile territory, but at the end of the day, the bill was passed by the full chamber with a vote of 72-61 .
EFFECT ON FEDERAL PROHIBITION
The federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA) passed in 1970, the federal government maintains complete prohibition of marijuana. Of course, the federal government lacks any constitutional authority to ban or regulate cannabis within the borders of a state, despite the opinion of the politically connected lawyers on the Supreme Court. If you doubt this, ask yourself why it took a constitutional amendment to institute federal alcohol prohibition.

Minnesota legalized medical marijuana in 2014. The legalization of marijuana for personal use in Minnesota would take the next step and remove another layer of laws prohibiting the possession and use of marijuana in the state even though federal prohibition would remain in effect. This is significant because FBI statistics show that law enforcement makes approximately […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
