Pine County Gets MN's First Cannabis License!
Minnesota's journey toward a fully operational adult-use cannabis market reached a historic milestone this week. On Wednesday, the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) issued the state's first-ever recreational cannabis business license. The recipient? Herb Quest LLC, a microbusiness based in Brook Park—a small community in Pine County, roughly 65 miles north of the Twin Cities.
Herb Quest's license allows the business to cultivate cannabis plants outdoors, officially kicking off Minnesota's regulated adult-use cannabis cultivation. This pivotal moment signals the beginning of the industry's rollout and sets the stage for many more businesses to follow.
"With our first licensed cultivator now able to begin growing plants, and more than 600 businesses within the final steps of completing their applications and securing approvals from local governments, we are now seeing the first pieces of Minnesota's adult-use market fall into place," said OCM Interim Director Eric Taubel in a statement.
