Montanan.
Hey just FYI too, there are way more than 650k ppl here, we broke a million like years ago.
MON TAAAAN NAAAAN
The question is how long do you have to live in Montana to become a legal resident? Could you become a legal resident in the time frame of processing the permits? More likely just find somebody to front as the resident owner in exchange for a small % of the profits.
All of us Montanans /Mon-TAN-an’s/ are pretty excited about showing what zone 3a grow operations can bring. Thanks for the info.
I just moved to Montana lol
Montucky is also accepted 🙂
People around here that are funding the massive push AGAINST legalization are well known families of the biggest dealers around.
Hypocrisy rules the BigSky.

Or rather more exactly as dey put it..here I’ll jus paste from iheartjane a description of verano In our new state of the art facility utilizing clean room environments for our grow rooms, extraction labs and kitchen, we focus on award winning medical strains, accurately dosed oils, edibles and concentrates. We have gone above and beyond industry standards to ensure that the patients of Illinois will receive medicine that is not only effective but of the absolute highest quality. By keeping complete control over our environment and using only organic nutrients and processes we are able to guarantee the consistency and integrity of our products.
Its Montan(ans). Born and raised here haha we are very happy to see this positive movement finally heading in the correct direction finally! thanks for the info guys!
Will out of state residents be allowed to purchase marijuana in Montana
Yes providers get first dibs because we have been here 1st. So you big markets can wait your greedy asses. If you file your taxes as a Montana then you qualify. Currently residency is moving from 3 years to 1 year tax proof.
Oh and in Illinois only state residents can possess the full amount.. wat bout in montana, also dey can probably very clearly as the law is written gift mj too right!?
Ukno biggest reason y it’s better den illinois’s form of legalization of mj… Homegrows 4any state residents dat I’m sure meet specific requirements but prob not as many as in Nevada or south Dakota,4example where u gotta b a certain distance from a dispo or whatever they r technically called where dey r yo
