Arizona voted to legalize marijuana when it passed Prop 207 by 60 to 40% of the vote in 2020. Arizona takes effect once the election results are made official Nov. 30. The Department of Health Services must adopt rules to set the number of licenses coming – but not more than one for every 10 pharmacies operating within the state.
The Arizona Department of Health Services (“ADHS”) will grant approximately 150 marijuana establishment licenses. Of these licenses, 26 will be specifically allocated to applicants who qualify under the Social Equity Ownership Program.
Define Early Applicant = Entity seeking to operate a marijuana establishment in a county with less than two registered nonprofit medical marijuana dispensaries, or a non-profit medical marijuana dispensary registered and in good standing with the department that wishes to obtain an establishment license.
Define Social Equity = increasing the license numbers up to 10 % in furtherance of social equity programs created by Department of Health Services. They are going to study it. Section 36-2854 provides for some nebulous concepts.
Marijuana Establishment = single retail location to sell marijauna products to customers & a signal off-site cultivation location & a single off-site location to manufacture marijuana products. (Mandatory vertical license).
Define license numbers and timeslot = Only two Marijuana Establishment License per county will be issued, as long as it does not contain a non profit medical marijuana dispensary, if it contains one registered non profit medical marijuana dispensary, it will only issue one. The early applications will be accepted from January 19th, 2021 to March 9th, 2021, after issuing the license to the early applicants the department will issue establishment licenses by random selection

love ur podcast been listening on Spotify. ps hi from Peoria IL
read somewhere that medical caregivers can sell excess product to dispensaries as many dispensaries were limited to one grow location that might not fit their needs and that many dispensaries are not expected to have their own grow components at all and need to acquire supply. is there any truth to this? ive seen other articles that look to both confirm and deny this kind of thing but the language is very abstract in both cases and the quest for an answer has been keeping me up at night lol.
I have a YouTube Channel you should just check it out if you see this 🙏💨💪🏻 you can add my info in my YouTube Banner 💯 and I just made a TikTok so thank you for taking the time. If you see this I probably watched this video 🔥
Love your content!!
You said AZ can have 6 plants. Question I have is there a size to a plant.
2nd it’s a 1 oz possession of bud. Is that for transport or possession at home say you grow six plants if they’re produce more than an ounce is that illegal?
Can you talk about the THC levels in Az and the difference between recreational limits and medical? Is a clone with no root considered a plant? Can you sell a clone that has not rooted as a home grower?
Yes, they are giving the current operations another license (practically automatic) for recreational and they are randomizing 51 other licenses towards normal citizens particularly with people who have been affected & stigmatized by marijua by March 2021. Buttt they have good home crop laws coming in for people who would want to Grow on their on property.
I enjoyed watching your video

Is there going to be a change in the 25 mile rule for medical patient care givers to grow medical marijuana for their patients?
Can you do one of these about Virginia? We’re supposed to go live on July 1, 2021
12 plants but only 1 oz flower and 5 grams concentrate??thats a bs loophole to arrest growers what is your take on it ?
Great talk… They took this law based on the alcohol laws and just added Marijuana to it and reprinted it. We went through this same shit with a brewery license 10 years ago. It is a large Moron influence for most of the Phoenix Metro, which controls the state.
I NEVER thought I’d live to see the day when AZ would LEGALIZE recreational marijuana. The state voted for Biden ( who’s basically a republican himself n we all know it) but make no mistake about it this is A DEEP DEEEEEEEP RED state. The Republican establishment in this state HATES this new law, I mean AZ was the only state in the union where they still handed out FELONIES for a 20 bag/grams worth of herb. Insane. Doug Ducey contemplated trying to fight this new bill even though it passed with 60% of the vote or 3 of 5 voters voting yes.
