A framed sign on a wooden counter reads "RECREATIONAL PURCHASE GUIDELINES" for "GREEN LIFE DISPENSARY." It features icons and text outlining rules: a "21+" age restriction, an ID card graphic, a green checkmark, and a "1 OZ. LIMIT (REC)."

Understanding Purchase and Possession Limits

In Montana, adults aged 21 and older can legally buy and possess up to one ounce of cannabis flower per transaction. This limit translates to 800 milligrams of edibles or 8 grams of concentrate. We want every guest to enjoy our local cannabis safely while staying fully compliant with these established daily limits.

Where You Can Legally Consume

It is critical to know that public consumption remains illegal throughout Montana. You cannot smoke or consume cannabis products in public spaces, parks, sidewalks, or inside hotel rooms. Usage is strictly limited to private property. We recommend confirming rules with your hosts or property owners before enjoying recreational marijuana or medical marijuana during your stay.
