Great Falls has 21 dispensaries licensed by the Montana Department of Revenue. Adults 21 and older can buy with a valid photo ID from any state, and Montana residents with a medical card can shop at the same counters. Cascade County voted for adult-use sales in 2020, but the city of Great Falls banned marijuana businesses inside its limits until a district judge ruled in October 2022 that it could not do so without an election.
That history still shapes the map. When the ban fell, city zoning allowed dispensaries only in light and heavy industrial districts, so Great Falls has no main-street row of shops. Instead the stores are spread out: a west side group off 6th Street SW, a north side group around 10th Avenue North, two on Black Eagle Road, one on Vaughn Road and a pair on 52nd Street North. The payoff for shoppers is that the busiest stores are well established: three of them have more than 480 Google reviews each.

Visiting a Dispensary in Great Falls: ID, Payment and Hours
- ID: Bring a driver's license, state ID or passport that proves you are 21. Out-of-state IDs are fine.
- Hours: State law limits sales to 9 a.m. through 8 p.m., so there is no late-night option anywhere in town.
- Payment: Cash and debit are the norm; do not count on a credit card.
- Getting there: City zoning keeps stores in industrial areas, so some are off the main shopping streets. Check the map on each listing before you set out.
Great Falls and Montana Cannabis Laws: Purchase Limits, Public Use and Driving
Adults may buy and hold up to 1 ounce, of which no more than 8 grams can be concentrate and 800 milligrams of THC can be edibles. Home growers may keep 2 mature plants and 2 seedlings, locked and out of public view.
- Malmstrom Air Force Base: The base on the east side of town is federal property, where cannabis is illegal, and military rules bar service members from using it anywhere. A store will sell to an airman who is 21, but the career risk is real.
- Along the river: The River's Edge Trail and city parks are public places. Smoking there can bring a civil fine of up to $50.
- On the road: Keep purchases sealed and away from the driver. A THC blood level of 5 ng/mL or more is DUI in Montana.
- Heading north: Carrying cannabis across the Canadian border is illegal in both countries, even though Canada has legal sales.
