A number of Minnesota cities are considering bans on the use of cannabis in public spaces as a major date for marijuana legalization in Minnesota nears.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) has given notice it will be having a public hearing on a draft cannabis ordinance.

The hearing will be held at 1 p.m. on Oct. 9 in the Commission Chambers at Terminal 1 at the MSP Airport.
