| |
| | |
| The medical marijuana program in the state is in a bit of disarray. As Michigan-based New Leaf Cannabis Consulting puts it<ref name="LowryMontana18">{{cite web |url=https://www.newleafcannabisconsulting.com/alaska-blog/2018/12/9/montana-cannabis-licensing-assistance |title=Montana Cannabis Licensing Information |author=Lowry, S. |publisher=New Leaf Cannabis Consulting |date=11 December 2018 |accessdate=27 April 2019}}</ref>:
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>Voters re-approved medical cannabis in the state in Nov. 2016. Dispensaries were supposed to not open until June 2017, but a Montana court ruled that they may reopen immediately. Montana used to have an established medical cannabis dispensary program, but a court ruling upholding a severe state law dismantled the dispensaries, by limiting the maximum number of patients to 3; that portion of the law is now repealed. </blockquote>

| | |
| As New Leaf also points out, the state hasn't made publicly available a list of licensed, operational dispensaries and cultivators operating under the new terms.<ref name="LowryMontana18" />

| | |
| '''Nevada''':
| |
| | |
| The current number and details of the state's licensed cultivators are unknown. Per an inquiry and a form letter emailed from the Marijuana Enforcement Division of Nevada, "the state is only permitted to release information on open dispensaries," and does not release information on current licensed cultivators. However, a list of provisional certificates awarded in November 2014 can still be found [https://tax.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/dpbhnvgov/content/Reg/MedMarijuana/cultivationscoresrankings12-21-15.pdf on their site], though many of the names are redacted due to confidentiality laws in the state.

| Licensing fees for cultivation facilities differ based on product. Recreational marijuana cultivation has an initial $30,000 licensing fee, with renewal costs at $10,000.
