As long as you follow these “do’s and dont’s” and keep up with the current laws pertaining to the legal use of marijuana, you will be just fine. We do however, strongly encourage you to seek counsel from a lawyer or an officer of the law before attempting any medical marijuana related activity of a legally ambiguous nature. With such a volatile state v. federal environment in this industry it is best to always be above reproach, so take the time to make sure you are within the legal parameters of Montana state law.
