That One Place — Veteran & Women-Owned Cannabis Dispensary in Billings, Montana
ABOUT US
At "That One Place," we believe everyone has a story that connects them to the cannabis, which is personal for us.
Our journey started with a shared goal to help others manage pain and find balance naturally. One founder's experience with military injuries led him to discover cannabis as a soothing alternative to traditional treatments. Similarly, our other founder sought relief for her daughter’s chronic pain when conventional methods failed.
Together, we created That One Place to provide safe access to cannabis, understanding personal stories that drive people to us. It's more than a business—it's about transforming lives through medicine.
Ryan Wright's Story
From Ryan:
"My childhood was a blur of an alcoholic yelling in my face while he swallowed pill after pill for pain. My father was in the army for ten years, gaining injury after injury, then prescribed pain medications that only increased in dosage and payment, with no end date in sight. Then, to numb the pain from his job, his standard coping mechanism was to turn to beer every night, creating a cocktail of dependency and harm for him and our family.
This caused fighting throughout our family. Each day was met with slamming doors, shoulders knocking you out of the way, and screaming that you are a disappointment, for majority of my childhood. That is until my father was granted medical leave and an ultimatum from my mother, and he begun searching for new ways to cope with his pain, both mentally and physically.
My 12th birthday will always be my favorite birthday memory. My dad was officially free from the army and was able to try out medical marijuana. My little brother and I went swimming in the hotel pool that we were at until we had to go back to the room, and instantly we saw the difference. My dad seemed lighter; he wasn't limping around and was hardly relying on his cane, and he smiled at us.
My dad has been using medical marijuana for ten years now, and it has made such a huge difference. He still has his bad days that we have to work through, but they are much fewer and farther between. He is able play tug of war with the dogs without needing to take a pill immediately after, he can sit outside and enjoy the Fourth of July fireworks with us, and he is so much happier."
Ryan now owns a medical dispensary in Billings with the same vision that he did when he first started using medical marijuana—helping people with their pain. He gives out to the community, organizes and feeds the homeless, and connects people with others if he doesn't have the resources himself. It has been a beautiful experience to watch him grow into the person he is today, all with the help of one little plant.
