The Grassroots–Legalize Cannabis Party (G–LC) was a political third party in the U.S. state of Minnesota created by Oliver Steinberg in 2014 to oppose cannabis prohibition. G–LC was a democratic socialist party with a background branching from the Grassroots Party established in 1986.
Grassroots–Legalize Cannabis Party attained major party status in Minnesota in 2018 when their Attorney General candidate, who dropped out of the race to support the Democratic candidate, but whose name nevertheless remained on ballots, received 5.7 percent of the vote.
In 2022, G–LC resumed minor party status, when none of their candidates got 5% of votes, which was required then for major party ballot access in Minnesota. However their candidate for Minnesota State Auditor received more than 1% of votes, in 2022, maintaining minor party status for G–LC until 2026, though the party became inactive after 2023.
