Montanan.
All of us Montanans /Mon-TAN-an’s/ are pretty excited about showing what zone 3a grow operations can bring. Thanks for the info.
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.
Less den10in dis video yo and this form of legalization seems d best thus far..better den illinois’s form of mj legalization fosho
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!?
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.
I just moved to Montana lol
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
