Recreational marijuana will become legal in Minnesota on August 1, and multiple cities across the state are considering whether to restrict its use in public places.
Lakeville Mayor Luke Hellier is concerned about the state’s law, which will allow people 21 and older to possess and use marijuana, FOX 9 reported.
“We’re the seventh-largest city in the Twin Cities, the 30th fastest growing city in the country. So in my opinion, we’re doing something right,” Hellier told Fox 9. “The last thing I want is a nuisance of marijuana smoke or vaping in the downtown that could prevent people from wanting to come to these businesses.”
