Montana Cannabis Market Timeline
Montana’s cannabis industry has evolved rapidly from its early medical origins into a fully regulated adult-use market. Montana stands at a pivotal moment for entrepreneurs, operators, and investors looking to expand into a stable but growing Western cannabis market.
Montana voters approve Initiative I-148, establishing one of the earliest medical marijuana programs in the United States.
Voters pass Initiative I-190, legalizing adult-use cannabis for consumers 21+ and directing the state to build a regulated commercial market.
Licensed adult-use cannabis sales officially launch across Montana in “green” counties, marking the state’s transition into a dual medical and recreational market. Our Montana cannabis architects begin servicing local businesses.
The moratorium restricting adult-use licenses to pre-2021 medical providers expires, creating Montana’s first major opportunity for new operators to apply for cultivation, manufacturing, retail, and other license types.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
What Are Montana's Laws and Regulations for Cannabis Facility Designs?

Studio Bliss stays abreast of these regulations to ensure that our designs not only meet but exceed the state’s compliance standards.
What Are the Cannabis Facility Design Requirements in Montana?

Dispensaries are required to have private consultation areas for patients, while grower/processors need to maintain cleanroom environments for cultivation and processing.

At Studio Bliss, we integrate these security protocols into every facility design, ensuring compliance with both state and municipal safety codes for medical marijuana operations.

A professionally prepared site plan is crucial for state approval. It must show zoning compliance, required setbacks, traffic flow, security layout, and environmental considerations in alignment with Montana’s marijuana regulation and taxation.
