Again, these limits do not apply to medical marijuana cardholders. WILL PRODUCTS BE SOLD IN SAFE, CHILD RESISTANT CONTAINERS AND PACKAGES? Yes, all products that leave a medical or recreational dispen- sary are to be placed and taken in an exit bag that is child resistant. All items will also be labeled in accordance with state compliance standards. DO YOU RECOMMEND I GET A MEDICAL CARD? With a doctor's recommendation and an approved applica- tion through the state you get a medical card. The benefits of having a medical card are the limited taxations and the ability to petition to have a higher monthly limit. WILL MY INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH THIRD PARTIES? Purchases are made with your driver's license and record- ed through a third-party tracking system that the state of Montana monitors. The system is called Metrc and tracks all cannabis grown from seed to sale. Many dispensaries also use third party point of sale systems to record and track cus- tomer sales, at Ganja Goddess we use Greenbits. This sys- tem allows us to offer a loyalty point system that gives our customer cash back on their purchases. WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO BUY MY CBD PRODUCTS AT A DISPENSARY? As dispensary owners with a full line of Ganja Goddess CBD products the unfortunate answer to this question is, no. We have spent the last 4 years formulating and making sure we offer the best and most effective CBD products to our cus- tomers. We find this new rule heartbreaking for many dis- pensary owners and our loyal customers. Medical and rec- reational dispensaries are not allowed to sell CBD products; however, those products can be sold by other businesses or can be purchased online. At Ganja Goddess, we hope this will change as we have many customers who will now have to purchase their CBD online instead of picking up locally. To sell CBD, Ganja Goddess, like many other dispensary owners will have to sell under an entirely different compa- ny or business. You can find our CBD products online under our new sister company that we have branded, GGMT CBD. CAN I TRAVEL THROUGH COUNTIES THAT DID NOT APPROVE THE USE OF REC- REATIONAL MARIJUANA? If you are traveling from one county to another and transporting any marijuana products you will need to check with the specific county on their rules and regulations regarding their specific laws. WILL THERE BE A CANNABIS SALES TAX? WHAT WILL BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RECREATIONAL VS. MEDICAL? Recreational marijuana will be taxed at 20% of re- tail sales. Medical marijuana will continue to be taxed at 4% of retail sales. Local jurisdictions may add an addi- tional tax of up to 3%. For example, Ganja Goddess has five locations, Bozeman, Livingston, Butte, Helena, and Missou- la and depending on which county you are shopping in there may be a 3% sales tax depending on what the people voted. This information was provided by Ganja Goddess, a women-owned, Montana made, family operated company locat- ed throughout the Treasure state. We look forward to seeing you soon! Visit us in any of our locations in Bozeman, Butte, Helena, Livingston, and Missoula! Reference: Montana Department of Revenue.
