Additionally, it clarifies which delta product is best and how it should be labeled.
Furthermore, this part of Title 50 explains what constitutes illegal possession or delivery or manufacture of controlled substances.

These regulations are important for individuals seeking to use cannabis products legally within Montana.
With this knowledge in hand, individuals can rest assured knowing they are following state law when using hemp-derived cannabinoids.
Transitioning into the next section about ‘title 50. health and safety. chapter 32. controlled substances. part 2. scheduling of dangerous drugs’ provides a comprehensive understanding regarding legality surrounding these products in Montana.
TITLE 50. HEALTH AND SAFETY. CHAPTER 32. CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES. Part 2. Scheduling of Dangerous Drugs
Scheduling of dangerous drugs is a critical component of Title 50, Health and Safety, Chapter 32, Controlled Substances Part 2. The criteria used for scheduling dangerous drugs in Montana are outlined in this part of the legislation and involve consideration of factors such as potential for abuse, risk to public safety, medical use potential, and scientific evidence.
The state classifies these substances into five separate categories or schedules based on their level of danger and potential for abuse.
Delta-8 THC falls under Schedule I which includes substances with no accepted medical uses but a high potential for abuse. It is important to note that only hemp derived delta 8 products with a delta tetrahydrocannabinol concentration below 0.3 percent by weight are legally considered hemp extract products and therefore federally compliant. Any product with higher concentrations should be treated as Schedule I drug under Montana controlled substances laws.
In order to ensure safe consumption of any hemp derived delta 8 legal product, consumers should always refer to the label information regarding the specific topical or body weight limitations before using it.

If these initiatives pass, they could provide clarity on how these products should be regulated and used within the state going forward.
