about mn is ready
MN is Ready is a comprehensive strategic campaign to legalize adult-use cannabis in Minnesota. We bring together the largest and most diverse coalition of cannabis policy stakeholders in Minnesota – including industry members, aligned advocacy groups, community advocates, and other supporters – to engage grassroots constituencies and work directly with lawmakers to pass full adult-use cannabis legalization in 2023.
The MN is Ready campaign was started in 2019 by Minnesotans for Responsible Marijuana Regulation (MRMR), a grasstops advocacy effort formed to catalyze legislative leadership on cannabis legalization at the Minnesota Capitol. Following the introduction and passage of H.F. 600 in 2021, the campaign spun off the MN is Ready Political Action Fund and the MN is Ready Coalition, a multi-stakeholder voter education effort led by Minnesota’s three leading legalization advocacy groups (MRMR, Sensible Change MN, and Minnesota NORML), and was a strong voice in electing a pro-legalization majority to the Minnesota legislature. Now, the campaign has formed MN is Ready Action, a 501(c)(4) entity that will support and advocate for the passage of adult-use legalization consistent with our core principles and objectives.
