SB 443 Montana Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revise drug laws to regulate THC levels

SB 443, which died in process in May 2025, proposed to regulate THC levels in cannabis products sold in Montana. It would have set a maximum 15% total THC concentration for all products (including flower, edibles, and concentrates) and limited package sizes (e.g., 100mg THC per edible serving, 800mg per package). The bill directly affected licensed dispensaries and consumers by restricting product potency and packaging, while allowing higher-potency products for registered medical cardholders. These changes aimed to reduce risks associated with high-potency THC but never became law.
