    MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Legalized recreational weed is coming to Minnesota on Tuesday.

It’s gotten us thinking at WCCO: What should the nickname for the first official day of legalization be?

We’ve come up with a list of possible nicknames for the day below:

Land of 10,000 Tokes Day Land of 10,000 Bakes Day Minnesota Pot Dish Day Minnestoner Day The North Spliff State Day Paul Bluntyan Day Ope, Just Gonna Pass The Joint Day Uff-Dank Day You Bud-cha Day WeedyMcWeedface Day Dank Superior Day

Soon Minnesotans will be able to legally possess and grow their own marijuana for recreational purposes, after the Minnesota Legislature approved a 300-page bill earlier this year, and Gov. Tim Walz signed it into law shortly thereafter.

At least one Minnesota tribe plans to take advantage of its sovereignty and allow sales right away. But at the same time, the state projects most legal retail sales likely won’t begin until early 2025, while it creates and implements a licensing and regulatory system for the new industry.

Minnesota is the 23rd state to legalize recreational marijuana, more than a decade after Colorado and Washington did so.
