RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA IN MONTANA provided by Ganja Goddess Recreational sales in Montana begin on January 1st, 2022! Whether or not you are new to the cannabis world or have been involved in the medical side of the industry, our staff at Ganja Goddess are excited to answer any questions you may have as we approach the new year.

The basics: • Adults 21 or older are allowed to carry/purchase 1 ounce or equivalent in cannabis products beginning January 1st, 2022 • All cannabis products must be child-resistant or transported in a child-resistant bag

Yes, in addition to growing your own plants, you are allowed up 1 ounce per day and up to 5 ounces per month.

How do you determine which dispensary is medical, recreational, or has a license for both?

Will there be a difference between recreational purchasing limits and medical purchasing limits?

Each dispensary is required to have signage clearly posted notifying the public of who can purchase at their specific location. The CCD (cannabis control division) will also be updating their website to indicate which locations sell medical only and which sell both medical and recreational for adult use only.

Yes, medical clients can petition their certified physician in order to purchase a higher limit.

Under adult recreational use, what guidelines must I follow? Just like medical use, the same rules apply for recreational use. Marijuana consumption and possession remains prohibited in public, in certain other locations, and is prohibited on all federal lands and waters. Recreational use of marijuana is prohibited in hospitals and other health care facilities. Furthermore, do not drive during or after medical or recreational use, as you still will be held accountable by law enforcement. Remember, marijuana is federally illegal, so be mindful as you navigate this new recreational world of cannabis use. 40

If I have a medical card and grow my own medicine marijuana, can I purchase it recreationally?

Examples of limits, packaging requirements, and total milligrams of THC in certain products. Edible adult-use marijuana products may contain up to 10 mg of THC per serving and up to 100 mg of THC in an entire package. In general, the total THC of marijuana flower may not exceed 35%. Topical products may contain no more than 6% THC and no more than 800 mg of THC per package. A marijuana product sold as a capsule, transdermal patch, or suppository may contain more than 100 mg of THC and no more than 800 mg of THC in an entire package. Again, these limits do not apply to medical marijuana cardholders.
