Arizona Prop 207 Passed– Now What?

On November 3rd, 2020, Arizona voters had the opportunity to vote on Proposition 207, also known as the “Smart and Safe Arizona Act” to legalize adult-use/recreational marijuana in the state.

Prop 207 to legalize recreational marijuana passed with a 60% for and 40% against.

What does this mean for Arizona and the Marijuana Program?

Prop 207 was filed by Smart and Safe Arizona on September 26th, 2019. The passing of Prop 207 legalizes the use and possession of up to an ounce of marijuana for adults twenty-one (21) years of age and older.

There will be an opportunity to apply for Marijuana Establishment Licenses starting next year in January 2021.

A marijuana establishment is allowed to operate all of the following:

  • A single retail location at which the licensee can sell marijuana and marijuana products to consumers, cultivate marijuana, and manufacture marijuana products.
  • A single off-site cultivation location at which the licensee can cultivate marijuana, process marijuana and manufacture marijuana products, but from which marijuana and marijuana products may not be transferred or sold to consumers.
  • A single off-site location at which the licensee can manufacture marijuana products, and package and store marijuana and marijuana products, but from which marijuana and marijuana products may not be transferred or sold to consumers.

The state will start accepting applications for marijuana establishment licenses from early applicants beginning January 19, 2021, through March 9, 2021.

  • Early applicants are defined as either:
    • A marijuana establishment seeking to operate in a county with fewer than two registered nonprofit medical marijuana dispensaries.
    • An existing medical marijuana business licensee that is registered and in good standing with the state.
