The website states...

It's time for us to follow common sense and harness the proven benefits of legalizing adult-use cannabis from expanding our economy, improving our criminal justice system, creating good-paying jobs across our state, and creating more space for law enforcement to focus on violent crime.

Add your name if you agree that Minnesotans deserve the freedom to make responsible decisions about cannabis use themselves.”
