I would have to say, that's def a huge decision to make. Would def take some big balls to do. But, if you can grow great product (def don't underestimate the quality of what is already there), and have good business sense.... I can say I know a man who did just what you're talking about. Moved from virginia to montana with practically nothing, took his ideas to an investor, got his license, and now has a very successful business with several employees.
However... it's my understanding that legislation will be rewritten very shortly in that state. So before you up and decide to do it, the very best advice i can give you is to talk to some kind of business lawyer that understands montana's medical situation (if you have a hard time finding someone, perhaps NORML could point you in the right direction).
good luck

Dont listen to austin, there is MUCH room for good growers in montana still. If you care about what you do, and you have at least 2-3000 to invest in a spot to grow and equipment, go for it. I started with nothing more then 1 400W HPS light and i currently am doing quite well. Gluck to you and remember one step at a time and plan before u plant.

I'm actually considering doing the same thing. I dont completely understand how i would go about making a big buisness out of it tho, because of the restrictions on how many plants you can have growing. is there a way to get around the amount of plant restriction legally?

"Seven new small businesses have reached the 100-patient mark in that time. These are legal small businesses which benefit their local economies by hiring employees, paying payroll and workers’ compensation taxes, spending money on rent and utilities, buying advertising, engaging the services of accountants and lawyers, and so on. And money spent in a local economy is “recycled”, as the funds paid out to employees and service providers results in a widening network of families buying groceries, paying for housing, and so on."
That is taken from the 2011 Montana MMJ Statistics page on NORMLS site. Now what i'm really wondering is, if these legal small businesses are doing this and paying all these employees and lawyers, how in the world are they making any money?

Yep. Thank the LDS Church. Fucking Mormons. Hope Gov. Schweitzer will veto it.
This is the insanity I'm facing.

This is splinter of the LDS Church. This Cherrie Brady is pure evil.
Brady said school officials have told her privately that there's so much excess medical marijuana in Montana that kids are selling it all over schools and that some kids are prostituting themselves to obtain it.
She lies left and right.

Being raised in the lds religion i say suport your wife and forget about your bishop and mormon religion all together...truth be told the mormons dont really care about you or your wife they just want your 10 %....True story i have a friend who has not been active in the church for several years and now he has an 8 year old who wants to be baptised into the lds church by her father, so my friend starts doing what he needs to do so he can have the credentials too baptize his daughter (talking with the missionaries and bishops and whomever and becoming active again) well he has been doing this for a while now and he asks the bishop when he can baptize his daughter...the bishops reply was you can not do it until you become a full tithe payer (a full tithe payer pays 10% of your gross income) these people are barely scraping by without giving away 10% . That tells me they are all about money and not really in it to help people !
Vote here show some support!!

There are at least 7 confirmed federal raids most likely drug task force still trying to stay on top of information as it comes. please report any activity to 510-251-1856 if you're in custody you can also call that number collect. These are federal raids there is no legal protection. the only thing you say to an officer is that you choose to remain silent and talk to an attorney. You need to prepare to be in custody for 72 hours and homes are often raided so be concious of what feds would find in your home. We'll keep giving out information as we hear. Remember to only say you choose to remain silent. If you have an attorney on retainer call them now.

PLEASE SEND THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SUPPORT ACCESS TO MEDICAL MARIJUANA TO CONDEMN THE MOST RECENT BAD BEHAVIOR OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
i don't know if you've all been following the news, but our lawmakers just went from bad to worse this week. of course this all started w/ the MT state legislature trying to do something that has never been done in the history of the US, repeal an initiative that was voted in by 62% of Montanans. then, Monday, 2 hours after our legislature tied in a vote on the repeal bill, the federal government sent agents into Montana to bust several large cannabis providers. no one was arrested, but they smashed and took everything these people had. these caregiver's lives are ruined and hundreds of very sick people will be going without their medicine. some patients may even die.
PLEASE HELP US! IT WILL TAKE 5 MINUTES!
our government prefers to perform these thuggish acts in the dark. don't let them! call your representatives. even if you're not in Montana, your call will let them know that the American people aren't behind this. tell them what you are seeing and how you feel about it. I've also provided the numbers for Montana legislators. again, even if you're out of state, let them know that you see their bad behavior and you don't approve. they've told me themselves that they're concerned about how they're perceived by the rest of the nation. let them know!
TALKING POINTS:
*if you are a republican, tea party, etc. mention it. we have a very untrue stereotype to overcome and being conservative helps.
*if you're not in Montana, tell them. let them know the whole country's watching.
*if you're anti-cannabis, tell them. let them know that they just pissed off a whole new set of voters.
*for the MT legislature to even attempt to repeal a voter initiative is unconscionable. this is an outrageous subversion of the will of the people. this sets a dangerous precedent in all states. they could then go after anything the voters put in place, from gun rights to the environment.
*the DEA raids, occurring 2 hours after a tied vote on HB161 (medical cannabis repeal bill) in our state senate were a carefully timed intrusion; a blatant political move to deliberately interfere in state business. it's designed to distract everyone from the fight on the state level, divide and weaken the industry so that it can't fight for it's rights, and send a clear message to Montana and the other states; that our decisions best not displease them, or they'll come in flexing muscle and terrorize your citizens.
*your tax money just went to pay to destroy the lives and property of legitimate business people that were providing a necessary medicine to sick people. and everybody came to the party, even the EPA and OSHA (wtf?). this wasn't cheap.
*the medical cannabis industry was thriving, creating jobs and paying taxes in this dismal economy. thanks to the raids, hundreds of people just went on unemployment.
