When does recreational marijuana start in Montana?
HB 701 establishes January 1, 2022 as the starting date for legal cannabis sales in Montana. Home cultivation will still be allowed, but adults are now limited to two plants (up to four per household). The bill also appoints a special administrative judge and establishes a dedicated court process specifically to expedite expungements for individuals with prior low-level marijuana offenses on their records.

What kind of marijuana products are right for me?
Start low and go slow.
Sometimes, the effects of marijuana aren’t always immediately felt. Everyone responds differently. Methods of using marijuana can be discussed with a Medicine Creek representative to find a method that is comfortable for you. We are dedicated to helping you find the right balance of smokeable, vapable, edible, and concentrated products to fit your specific needs. But remember, the basic principle for consuming marijuana is “start low and go slow.”
Marijuana has a wide margin of safety and there is a very limited risk of overdose. However, caution is warranted until you fully understand the effect that marijuana may have. Product types and consumption varies greatly among individuals.
