Petitions Process for Adding Qualifying Medical Conditions, Delivery Methods
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) accepts petitions from the public every year from June 1 through July 31 to add a qualifying medical condition or delivery method (the form in which a medication is taken). No petitions for adding a qualifying medical condition were accepted for consideration in 2023.
Minnesota will add dry herb vaporization to the list of approved delivery methods in the state’s Medical Cannabis Program. Under state law, the new delivery method will be available to patients beginning Aug. 1, 2024.

Legislative changes to the petitions process
On May 24, 2024, Governor Walz signed into law HF 4757, which made a variety of changes to adult use and medical cannabis laws. As a result of this legislation, petitions will no longer be accepted for qualifying medical conditions.
Members of the public may continue to submit petitions to add an approved medical cannabis delivery method or approved form of medical cannabis. This change goes into effect July 1, 2024.
