Arizona Marijuana Campaign Legalization

The pro-marijuana legalization group, Campaign to Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol in Arizona (CRMLA), has reported that it has raised $1.08 million for its adult-use marijuana legalization campaign efforts. Groups in opposition to adult-use marijuana legalization have raised less than $100,000 collectively.

The CRMLA has obtained enough signatures from registered Arizona voters to get a proposal to regulate marijuana in a similar way as alcohol onto the November ballot in 2016. Although, the campaign will continue to obtain more signatures.

Arizonans for Responsible Drug Policy, a group in opposition of adult-use marijuana legalization, has raised a total of $90,000 according to their financials, reports ABC 15.  The group uses its funds towards fabricated, anti-marijuana propaganda campaigns.

Another anti-marijuana legalization group has only raised $800 in contributions for their effort. Their spokeswoman, Kim Owens, says, “We’re just starting out. We don’t have any reason to believe that we won’t equally be equally as well-funded.”

Arizona legalized marijuana for recreational use in November 2020. The law allows adults aged 21+ to purchase, possess and use cannabis. State-licensed cannabis dispensaries began selling recreational marijuana in early 2021. There are over 150 dispensaries in Arizona — a majority of them are in populous areas such as Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff. Recreational cannabis delivery services began operating in 2024.
