Black Friday and Cyber Monday Dispensary Deals in Minnesota 2026

Laws change. This article was last checked on 2026-11-10; confirm current rules with OCM (mn.gov/ocm) before acting.

In 2026, Black Friday is November 27 and Cyber Monday is November 30. Some licensed Minnesota dispensaries run sales during that weekend, and each retailer decides its own. This guide covers the deal formats dispensaries use, how the state excise tax affects your actual savings, which multi-location operators to check, and where to track current offers before you shop.

Nothing in this article is a price guarantee. Dispensary sales are set by each retailer and change without notice. For current deals, check the MN Cannabis Hub deals page, which is updated each day.

What Black Friday Deals Look Like at Minnesota Dispensaries

State-licensed adult-use sales in Minnesota began on September 16, 2025, according to the Office of Cannabis Management. That makes 2026 the second Black Friday weekend for state-licensed retailers. This site does not have a verified record of what each store offered in 2025, so the formats below describe the kinds of promotion dispensaries use. They are not a forecast of any store's 2026 offer.

Deal formats a dispensary may use on a sale weekend include:

• Category sales. A percentage off one category, such as flower, edibles, or vapes, for one or two days.
• Tiered spending discounts. A larger percentage off as the basket grows. Whether this stacks with loyalty points is up to the retailer.
• Bundle pricing. Specific gram or multi-unit bundles at a fixed price below the standard per-unit cost.
• Daily door openers. A rotating single product or category at a sharply reduced price, sometimes posted that morning only.

No Minnesota dispensary is required to run a Black Friday sale, and formats vary by location even within the same chain. Hours do not automatically extend on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Call the specific location or check the dispensary's own website before visiting.

How the State Excise Tax Affects Your Total

Minnesota charges a 15 percent cannabis excise tax on adult-use cannabis sales, applied before the state sales tax of 6.875 percent. A local sales tax may apply on top of that depending on the city or county. On a $100 basket, the two state-level taxes together are roughly $21.88 before any local add-on.

A 20 percent discount on the product price does not eliminate the tax. If a dispensary marks a $50 product down to $40, the excise and state taxes still apply to the sale price. Your actual out-of-pocket savings on a $10 price reduction are $10 minus whatever the taxes on that $10 would have been, not $10 flat. The Minnesota dispensary prices guide shows what shoppers typically pay per category before and after taxes.

A qualifying medical sale carries neither tax: when a patient enrolled in the state registry buys from a retailer with a medical cannabis retail endorsement, the cannabis excise tax and the state sales tax are both $0. The Minnesota cannabis tax calculator walks through the conditions. Not every dispensary holds that endorsement, so ask before you assume the exemption applies.

Tribal Dispensaries and Excise Tax

A small number of dispensaries in Minnesota operate on tribal land under sovereign nation authority and are not subject to Minnesota's 15 percent excise tax. The cheapest dispensaries in Minnesota guide covers which locations currently fall in this category and what the tax difference means per purchase. If a tribal dispensary also runs a Black Friday promotion, the state excise tax is still not part of the total. Ask at the counter which taxes apply.

Multi-Location Dispensaries to Check

These operators have several licensed listings in the directory. Naming them is not a claim about what any of them will offer in 2026, and participation can differ from one location to the next.

RISE has multiple Minnesota stores. See the RISE locations page for each store's listing, hours and menu link.

Green Goods has multiple Minnesota stores. See the Green Goods locations page for each store's listing.

For any store, the retailer's own website and its loyalty or email program are where a sale is announced first.

This is not a complete list. Single-location retailers set their own promotions too. Check each store's social media or the deals page for what is active near you.

What to Expect on Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday is a retail event built around online ordering. Minnesota dispensaries can accept online orders for in-store pickup, but they cannot sell cannabis for delivery through unlicensed channels, and cannabis cannot be shipped across state lines. As a result, a Cyber Monday offer at a Minnesota dispensary is an order-ahead or in-store offer, not a shipped one.

A retailer may send a discount code to loyalty or email subscribers for use at pickup. If a store you use has a list, joining it before the weekend is the direct way to hear about an offer.

How to Find Current Deals Before You Shop

The MN Cannabis Hub deals page aggregates current dispensary promotions by date. It is updated daily and covers offers from multiple chains across the state. If you plan to shop a specific city, start there and cross-reference the dispensary's own website or social channels.

The first-time buyer's guide covers what to bring and what to expect at the counter if this is your first visit to a licensed Minnesota dispensary.

The current flower prices and edible prices pages show typical price ranges by category, which helps you evaluate whether a sale price is actually below the market average or just at standard pricing.

Buying Limits on Black Friday

Minnesota's purchase limits apply every day, including Black Friday. Adult-use cannabis shoppers may purchase up to two ounces (56.7 grams) of cannabis flower, or the equivalent in other product forms, in a single transaction. Retailers are required to verify age at the point of sale.

Stacking Savings

If your dispensary offers a loyalty rewards program, enrolling before the Black Friday weekend is worth doing. Program terms differ by retailer, including whether points can be combined with a sale price.

Additional ways shoppers reduce per-visit costs:

• New customer discounts. Some dispensaries offer a first-purchase discount. If you have not visited a store before, ask about it, and confirm with staff which discount applies at checkout.
• Email and SMS signups. Some retailers announce a sale to subscribers first. Subscribe ahead of time if the store offers a list.
• Timing. A sale may run for one day or through the weekend. Calling ahead to ask how long it lasts is worth the two minutes.

What Is Not a Deal

A product priced at the standard menu price does not become a deal because it is on the shelf during Black Friday weekend. Minnesota dispensary menus are publicly viewable on each retailer's website. Comparing the sale price with the regular price before you shop helps you tell the difference.

Promotional pricing on higher-THC products does not mean those products are more appropriate for new users. The first-time buyer's guide and standard dispensary staff guidance apply equally during sale events.

This site does not name, link, or recommend any dispensary that does not have a live licensed listing in the Minnesota dispensaries directory. Business names in this article correspond to chains with active listings in that directory at the time of publication.

FAQ

Do all Minnesota dispensaries run Black Friday deals?

No. Black Friday promotions are voluntary and vary by chain and location. Some dispensaries run store-wide percentage discounts, others run category sales, and some do not run a formal sale at all. Check the deals page or the dispensary's own website before you go.

Do Minnesota dispensary sales include the excise tax or is that added on top?

Minnesota's 15 percent excise tax and 6.875 percent state sales tax are added at the point of sale on adult-use purchases. Dispensary advertised prices are typically pre-tax. The discount percentage applies to the product price before taxes. A qualifying medical sale, to a registry patient at a retailer with a medical cannabis retail endorsement, carries neither tax.

Can I use a Black Friday discount and a loyalty reward at the same checkout?

That depends on the dispensary's own policy. Some chains allow stacking, others apply only the better discount. Ask at the counter or check the retailer's terms before you go.

Are tribal dispensaries in Minnesota covered by the same Black Friday deals?

Tribal dispensaries are operated by sovereign nations and set their own pricing and promotion policies. They are not subject to Minnesota's 15 percent excise tax. Whether one runs a holiday promotion is its own decision. Check directly with the specific tribal dispensary.

Is there a purchase limit on Black Friday at Minnesota dispensaries?

Yes. Minnesota law sets the same per-transaction and possession limits every day of the year. Adult-use cannabis shoppers may purchase up to two ounces of flower equivalent per transaction. Source: Minnesota Statutes, chapter 342.

When do Black Friday deals usually go live at Minnesota dispensaries?

Timing is set by each retailer, and this site has no verified schedule for 2026. Thanksgiving is November 26, so check the deals page from Monday, November 23 for what is active. If you are hosting that Thursday, see serving THC drinks at Thanksgiving in Minnesota.
