In a statement, fair officials said there has been no change in policy regarding the use of marijuana and sale of related products at the fairgrounds.
The State Fair, which opens Aug. 24 and ends Labor Day, Sept. 4, will continue to allow cigarette smoking and the use of vapes in designated smoking areas.
The new law allows Minnesotans to use marijuana at home, on private property, at events licensed for on-site consumption and other places not prohibited by the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act or local ordinances.
The governor said it may be 2027 or 2028 by the time the market catches up to demand.
