Montana's cities and towns are testing different ways to regulate commercial growers of medical marijuana.
Bozeman is considering a new law on licensing them. Kalispell wants to ban them altogether. Columbia Falls says it plans to regulate them under existing city codes.
Kalispell and other cities have votes scheduled this week and next on how to deal with medical marijuana businesses.
Officials from various cities say they don't know where most of the caregivers are, how big their marijuana operations are or whether they comply with fire or safety codes.
Medical marijuana growers and providers say medical marijuana has been a great boon for the economy and cities instead should be looking at providing safe access for patients.
