HB 792 Montana House · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise laws related to cannabis labeling and education

HB 792 revises laws related to marijuana labeling and education, directly affecting marijuana businesses and consumers. It mandates the display of new warning posters at all points of sale for marijuana products. The bill also expands the required warning labels on product packaging to include additional health risks, a warning about driving under the influence, and a specific "high-potency THC" warning for products over 10% THC. Furthermore, these labels and posters must provide resources for marijuana addiction assistance, and the bill grants the department rulemaking authority to implement these changes.
