Marijuana Concentrates

A California state appellate court ruled that marijuana concentrates are protected under California’s 1996 medical marijuana law.

The appellate judges determined that when marijuana “was approved by voters” in California it was defined as “all parts of the plant Cannabis sativa L., whether growing or not; the seeds thereof; the resin extracted from any part of the plant; and every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of the plant, its seeds or resin.”

The court proceedings stemmed from a case where a medical marijuana patient was charged with unlawful possession of concentrated marijuana in 2013, a misdemeanor which caused him to violate his probation due to a failure “to obey all laws.”

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.
