Evergreen law guide
Montana licenses adult-use and medical cannabis, with counties deciding by local vote whether adult-use sales may occur. A dual licence lets an operator serve both markets from one premises. Hemp cultivation is well established under a state plan with sampling and testing.
County opt-in is the decisive factor for retail: a licence issued by the state does not authorise sales in a county that voted against them.
Business impact
Retail expansion should follow county votes, which can change. Hemp growers should keep test documentation ready for buyers who require it downstream.
