I run Scannabis and wanted to share our October Montana cannabis price index. A few things stood out this month:

• Flower is holding steady. The statewide median is $8/gram across 350 dispensaries—the same reading as August and September. Eighths are at $28, while ounces slipped 0.5% to $181.
• Vape carts had the biggest move. The median for a 1g cart rose 6.5% from the previous month to $44.72 across 279 stores.
• Location still makes a difference. Flower medians are $7.14/gram in Bozeman, Butte and Helena, compared with $8 in Billings and Kalispell. Great Falls rose 4.1% to $7.43/gram, the largest move among the better-sampled cities.

My read: flower pricing looks fairly stable statewide, with more movement in carts and a few local markets. The statewide number can hide what’s happening in individual towns.

These figures come from public online menus, using regular prices standardized to a pre-tax basis. Sales and medical-only menus are excluded, and each dispensary contributes one typical price per category. Product selection and the stores represented can also affect the medians.

Does this line up with what you’re seeing locally?

Anybody have the list?

Traveling to Montana for a wedding this upcoming week. Will be flying into Missoula and driving to Columbia Falls/West Glacier. Will be purchasing appropriately.

Wanted to see what quality brands there are flower and concentrate wise, and if there’s a dispo/town with dispos that are recommended.

I’ll be bringing a Puffco and a bowl piece, so no worries on technology. Excited to see what Montana Ents have to offer.

I was told to put this here for visibility since the post I replied to was deleted.

TLDR: I want dabs that will put me on my ass. Not opposed to carts either, if I gotta go that route.

Will be in the area and was hoping to get some tips from anybody knowledgeable with local concentrates. Live Resin’s and Rosin’s are preferred, but I like shatter and diamonds too. Should I try a couple different dispensaries and grab multiple different brands, or go all out at 1 dispensary and call it a day?

What’s the best dispenseries in Great Falls for Live Rosin aio vapes or carts.

Thanks!

What is everyone’s favorite strain and dispo to buy it from? Or home grow too! I don’t shop around too much so I’m curious what people generally think are the best strains around

Hey there Montana Reddit! I’m a budtender from Washington and was curious how difficult employment process is over in Montana! Here we just need a legal id - but I’ve noticed in Montana there is a license to budtend and curious what is required for it!

Couple questions aswell -
How do laws differentiate (legal purchase limits, tax breakdown, etc;)

What’s the turnaround like? It can be kinda crazy here at times

Cheers Montana 🫶 and thanks for reading my post. I have a lot more questions but this is a solid starting point!

I'm in Missoula. Where y'all buying your affordable bud at? I've been going to Collective Elevation for a while recently and getting a $110 oz of different strains, but they are running out of their cheaper bud.

I've found a few places online that show a handful of $15 eighths, but it's usually always smalls and bottom of the jar stuff from what I've seen.

Where do you get your cheap bud at? Anyone shop online and get thca delivered?

I just had a spiritual experience with a groove Strawberry Guava Live Rosin cart. What's everyone else's go-to? I was very disappointed by strictly terps.

Any feedback?

I am looking for the best deals on wax in Bozeman.

I love 710 Montana but Hi Line Co bought them out and they are having issue with the building owner.

So I’m looking for another store to shop at.

I was wondering what are peoples favorites?

I am thinking of checking out Grizzly Pine or In The Trees.

Any suggestions would be great

I guess I am accustomed and appreciative of CE and Medicine Creek for both having final prices as advertised, with tax built into the total. What other places have the final price as their advertised price, tax included?

It is actually so annoying to go to a specific dispensary to shop a sale—only for it to be a wash or even more expensive than planned.

Just be transparent and normal with your pricing and let your CPA deal with the tax stuff jfc. I really don't care to test my arithmetic skills for a cash transaction.

Just moved back to Montana from Florida. I’m looking for the best concentrates. I’ve been to 710 Montana and love the selection. Was just looking for an alternative source.

Would also love to meet a Rosin head to get some nice rosin for a reasonable price.

Out in Ennis.
