Senate Bill No. [insert bill number] aims to revise Montana's drug laws by regulating THC levels in marijuana products. The bill introduces a new maximum THC concentration limit of 15% for all marijuana and marijuana-derived products, which includes various forms such as flower, concentrates, tinctures, edibles, and capsules. Additionally, it amends the allowable THC amounts in each package, reducing the maximum THC concentration for marijuana flower from 35% to 15%. The bill also specifies that a single package of marijuana products must adhere to strict limits, such as 100 milligrams of THC per capsule and 800 milligrams of THC per package for other products.

Furthermore, the bill allows the department to establish or limit THC content for both adult-use and medical marijuana dispensaries. It maintains that dispensaries can sell products with higher THC potency levels to registered cardholders, while also prohibiting transactions that would exceed personal possession limits. The overarching goal of the bill is to protect public health, particularly the well-being of children, by reducing access to high-potency THC products and mitigating the risks associated with their use.
