Why CannabisMontana.com Exists

Montana legalized recreational cannabis in 2020 and opened adult-use sales on January 1, 2022. The market has grown to approximately 557 dispensaries, over $1.27 billion in cumulative sales, and a unique regulatory framework featuring green/red counties, conservation tax funding, and a license moratorium. But finding reliable, comprehensive, and non-commercial information about Montana cannabis law, dispensaries, the medical program, and the state's distinctive cannabis culture in one place has never been easy.

CannabisMontana.com fills that gap. We are a free educational resource that brings together everything you need to know about cannabis in Montana — from current laws and possession limits to dispensary locations, visitor guides, and tax revenue data.
