Highly anticipated medical marijuana law takes effect

MINNEAPOLIS -- There won’t be thousands gathered on the steps of the state capitol with signs and banners, nor will there be a plume of pungent, intoxicating smoke hanging in the air.

But that doesn’t mean July 1st is not a big day for marijuana in Minnesota.

The state’s medical marijuana law goes into effect Wednesday, giving hope to many families in Minnesota who have had loved ones that suffer from conditions that have not responded to traditional medicine.
