Metrc in Montana 101

Metrc is the official statewide track-and-trace system for Montana's statewide cannabis programs since 2017.

In 2004, Montana legalized medical cannabis via Initiative 148, enabling patients with specific conditions to use it. Stricter regulations came in 2011 with Senate Bill 423, encountering public and legal resistance. Initiative 182 in 2016 subsequently widened medical cannabis access.

Montana legalized recreational cannabis in 2020 through Initiative 190, setting up a regulated market. The following year, House Bill 701 was enacted, establishing the framework for the state's recreational cannabis market in alignment with Initiative 190's voter approval.

The Cannabis Control Division (CCD), formed by House Bill 701 in 2021 and part of the Department of Revenue, began oversight by the Economic Affairs Interim Committee from January 1, 2022. Its purpose is to ensure the health and safety of Montanans by fairly administering, educating, and enforcing the Montana Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MMRT).

Approved Montana cannabis license holders will need to implement and stay compliant with Metrc.
