NOW WELCOMING SUBMISSIONS FOR MCM'S 2026 WINTER ISSUE!
Montana Cannabis Magazine (MCM) uplifts voices in and around Montana’s sustainability and cannabis cultures.
You don’t need to be a professional writer or have everything perfectly polished. We care about authenticity, curiosity, and lived experience.
SUBMISSION DEADLINES
Winter 2026: October 20th, 2026
Spring/Summer 2027: February 1st, 2027
Our Winter issue is all about water: the rivers, snowpack, and hot springs that shape Montana, the water that hydrate our plants, and the water that moves through our bodies, rituals, and communities. We'd love pitches that explore water in any form.
Need a spark? A few directions to get you thinking:
-
Where cannabis water comes from, and where it goes
-
Rivers, snow, springs, and the places that ground you
-
Water and wellness: hydration, steam, tears, and rest
-
Everyday water rituals, from morning coffee to bong cleaning
-
People doing quiet, practical work to protect our watersheds
-
Poems, recipes, or photo series inspired by water
