Each dispensary is required to have signage clearly posted noti- fying the public of who can pur- chase at their specific location. The CCD (cannabis control divi- sion) will also be updating their website to indicate which loca- tions sell medical only and which sell both medical and recreation- al for adult use only. UNDER ADULT RECREATIONAL USE WHAT GUIDE- LINES MUST I FOLLOW? Just like medical use, the same rules apply for recreational use. Marijuana consumption and pos- session remains prohibited in public, in certain other locations and is prohibited on all federal lands and waters. Recreational use of marijuana is prohibited in hospitals and other health care facilities. Furthermore, do not drive during or after medical or recreational use as you still will be held accountable by law enforcement. Remem- ber, marijuana is federally illegal so be mindful as you navi- gate this new recreational world of cannabis use. IF I HAVE A MEDICAL CARD AND GROW MY OWN MEDICINE MARIJUANA, CAN I PURCHASE IT RECREATIONALLY? Yes, in addition to growing your own plants you are allowed up 1 ounce per day and up to 5 ounces per month. WILL THERE BE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RECRE- ATIONAL PURCHASING LIMITS AND MEDICAL PUR- CHASING LIMITS? Yes, medical clients can petition their certified physician in order to purchase a higher limit. Examples of limits, packaging requirements and total milli- grams of THC in certain prod- ucts. Edible adult-use marijuana products may contain up to 10 mg of THC per serving, and up to 100 mg of THC in an entire pack- age. In general, the total THC of marijuana flower may not exceed 35%. Topical products may con- tain no more than 6% THC and no more than 800 mg of THC per package. A marijuana product W HOEVER YOU ARE, WHETHER YOU'RE AN EXISTING MEDICAL MARIJUANA PATIENT IN MONTANA OR YOU HAVEN'T SMOKED A JOINT SINCE YOUR DAYS FOLLOWING THE GRATEFUL DEAD, you're bound to have questions about the legalization of recreational marijuana in our state.
