How the math works
Minnesota stacks two taxes on cannabis sales:
- 15% cannabis gross receipts tax — goes to the state. Funds social equity, local government aid, and enforcement.
- 6.875% Minnesota state sales tax — plus any local sales tax the city or county adds on top.
Minneapolis and Saint Paul each add ~1.15-1.5% in local tax. Rural and suburban cities typically have no local cannabis tax beyond the state rate. Cannabis sold on sovereign tribal land may have different rules.
