Montana cannabis regulation history

Montana cannabis regulation history

Montana’s cannabis story started back in 2004, when the state opened the door to medical marijuana. At first, the program was small and evolving, but over time, it became more structured and accessible.

By 2022, things took a big step forward — adult-use cannabis sales officially began, and Montana’s industry started to take off. Shops opened their doors, growers expanded their operations, and a new era of legal cannabis began across the state.

Today, cultivators, manufacturers, dispensaries, and labs are helping Montana build a strong, compliant, and growing cannabis market — and it’s only just beginning.

  • Cultivator Licenses
  • Manufacturer Licenses
  • Dispensary Licenses
  • Transporter Licenses
  • Testing Laboratory Licenses

Which state agency is in charge of cannabis licensing in Montana?

The Cannabis Control Division (CCD), part of the Montana Department of Revenue, is responsible for licensing, compliance, inspections, and enforcement for all cannabis businesses in the state.

How much does a cannabis business license cost in Montana?

Cannabis business license fees in Montana vary based on the license type and tier.

Dispensary licenses cost $5,000 per location annually, while cultivation licenses range from $1,000 for micro-tiers up to $37,000 for the largest canopy size. Manufacturer license fees depend on monthly production, starting at $5,000 and reaching up to $20,000. Testing labs pay $5,000 annually. Transporter licenses cost $10,000 for a two-year term, with a $1,000 storage endorsement available if the licensee intends to store marijuana or marijuana products overnight during transport.

A 20% non-refundable application fee is due upfront, with the remainder due upon approval.

How do I apply for a cannabis business license in Montana?

The application process depends on the license type and business structure. All applications are submitted online through the state’s TransAction Portal. Applicants must provide detailed operational plans, pass background checks, and secure local zoning approval. Final approval requires a site inspection and METRC training. Municipal approval is required, and local rules may vary by city or county.

What are the fines and penalties for cannabis businesses in Montana that are out of compliance?

Non-compliant cannabis businesses in Montana may face written warnings, monetary fines, license suspension, or revocation.
