Cannabis Laws in Walker
Cannabis possession and use rules in Walker are set by Minnesota state law — cities cannot override them. Adults 21 and older may purchase and possess up to 2 ounces of cannabis flower in public and up to 2 pounds at home. Consumption is permitted in private residences only — not in parks, sidewalks, vehicles, or multi-unit building common areas.
Minnesota's cannabis program is administered by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), and all dispensaries listed here hold active OCM retail licenses. The interim “moratorium” ordinances that many Minnesota cities adopted in 2023–24 expired by January 1, 2025, so cities can no longer ban cannabis businesses — but they may still apply local zoning (such as buffer zones near schools, parks, or daycares, or limits on the number and location of dispensaries). For current local rules, check with Walker city hall; local zoning affects where stores can open, not your possession rights as a consumer.

Growing Cannabis at Home in Walker
Minnesota state law allows adults 21 and older to grow up to 8 cannabis plants at home, with a maximum of 4 mature (flowering) plants at any time. Plants must be grown in a locked, enclosed space not visible to the public — outdoor gardens visible from sidewalks or neighboring properties are not permitted.
Minnesota law protects home cultivation statewide — cities cannot prohibit it — so adults 21 and older in Walker may grow within the state limits above. Renters should still check their lease, since landlords can prohibit growing in rental units.

Updated May 19, 2026Sweetest Grass at 6838 Y Frontage Rd NW is Walker's cannabis destination, operated by the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe near Northern Lights Casino and Hotel. Open 10 AM to 9 PM daily, the dispensary serves recreational customers 21+ with a full menu of flower, edibles, vapes, pre-rolls, and concentrates.

Leech Lake is one of Minnesota's top fishing destinations - a 111,000-acre natural walleye factory drawing anglers from across the Midwest. Walker's summer population swells dramatically, and Sweetest Grass is positioned to catch that traffic right off Highway 371. Whether you're staying at a lakeside resort, pulling into a campsite, biking the Heartland State Trail, or heading into the Chippewa National Forest, the dispensary is easy to access. The Northern Lights Casino adjacency means visitors can combine gaming with cannabis shopping.
Winter visitors come for snowmobiling, ice fishing, and the Walker Winter Carnival, so the dispensary maintains year-round hours. The Leech Lake Band also operates a second Sweetest Grass location in Cass Lake (605 Elm Ave, 11 AM to 7 PM) for travelers approaching from the south or west on US-2.
