RISE at 550 Vandalia St is St. Paul's licensed adult-use cannabis dispensary, situated in the Midway corridor between Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul. Open Monday through Saturday 9 AM to 9 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 8 PM. RISE is the closest OCM-licensed dispensary to the Metro Green Line - take the A Line bus from Snelling Avenue Station and you are steps away without parking. It carries flower, vapes, pre-rolls, edibles, and concentrates with a PIN debit option at checkout.

Note on Zaza Cannabis at 1112 Grand Ave (Mac-Groveland): Zaza operates as a hemp and CBD retailer, not a state-licensed OCM adult-use cannabis dispensary. Product selection and regulatory oversight differ significantly from licensed dispensaries. Verify before visiting.

A second licensed option is close by: Frostbite Dispensary in Roseville at 2218 County Road D West, Suite 200, open 11 AM to 7 PM daily, with a full menu including flower, edibles, vapes, pre-rolls, extracts, and beverages. And NativeCare is opening at 2001 S. Robert St. in nearby West St. Paul (targeting March 2026), which will add tribal pricing with no state excise tax to the east metro.

Medical patients at RISE and Frostbite are exempt from the 15 percent state excise tax and the 6.875 percent sales tax, saving roughly 22 percent. Bring your Minnesota patient ID card at checkout.
