Vaporizing or smoking of medical cannabis in multifamily housing prohibited.

HF 2198 prohibits the vaporizing or smoking of medical cannabis (including cannabis flower and cannabinoid products) in multifamily housing buildings, such as apartment complexes, including balconies and patios. This bill directly affects medical cannabis patients living in apartment buildings and property managers responsible for enforcement. The key provision amends Minnesota Statutes section 342.56, adding multifamily housing as a prohibited location, with violations subject to a $250 civil fine. The law expands existing restrictions on cannabis consumption locations to specifically address apartment living environments.
