Arizona AG Warns Retailers THC-Infused Products Are Only Legal At Dispensaries

The Arizona Dispensaries Association (ADA) is alerting businesses and consumers to the notice from the Arizona Attorney General’s office, reinforcing that the only legal place to produce, sell, and distribute THC, and thus for consumers to purchase THC products in the state, is through licensed dispensaries.

This official clarification gives businesses a 30-day compliance period before enforcement
actions begin.

“This is a critical step in ensuring the safety of our communities, families, and consumers,” said Ann Torrez, executive director of the ADA. “Arizona’s cannabis program is highly regulated, and the safety of consumers is our industry’s top priority.”

The ADA is committed to elevating this conversation to prevent unintended consequences, ensuring that all stakeholders—including businesses, law enforcement, and consumers—fully understand the law’s enforcement. The association will work closely with organizations such as the Sheriff’s offices, the police, and the County Attorney’s office to spread awareness and support compliance efforts.

“There will be no THC sales outside of licensed dispensaries in Arizona. Businesses and consumers must understand the legal requirements to avoid serious penalties,” added Torrez.

The ADA urges all affected parties to stay informed and take necessary actions within the 30-day compliance window. Public awareness is key in preventing individuals from unknowingly violating the law.
