Recreational marijuana has yet to become legalized in Montana, though you may apply for a medical marijuana card. The ever-changing Montana Medical Marijuana Act was passed in 2004. Due to an increase in medical marijuana users, the state has made it increasingly difficult to obtain a medical marijuana card. With a medical marijuana card, you’ll be able to possess up to one ounce of usable marijuana as well as eight grams of concentrate, 8ml of vape cartridges, or 800mg of THC in edibles. Additionally, one may possess up to 4 mature plants, 4 seedlings, and the amount of usable marijuana allowed by the department by rule.
