They are a source of local amusement and amazement. https://www.cannabisindustrydata.com/how-many-cannabis-dispensaries-are- located-in-missoula-montana/ The refer to themselves as dispensaries, going back to the time when you needed a medical card. Some still are medical only but most also sell recreational. Same weed, different taxing. There is a law about how close together they can be or there would probably be more. The population of the city and surrounding areas is about 125,000 if you count the mules. Even the most zoned out stoner does the math, scratches his head, and says 'How are they all making a living?'. It's not like people are driving in from adjoining states to stock up. It's illegal in Idaho, but Spokane Washington where it is legal is a lot closer. Still, every time a business leaves because they can't afford the rent a dispensary pops up. The state is making money and 28% of the haul goes to FWP (Fish, Wildlife & Parks), the state parks, and trails so I'm not complaining.
