2019 was a big year for the legal marijuana industry, and especially for Arizona.
More states legalized marijuana across the U.S. this year and Mexico announced they will be legalizing recreational marijuana in early 2020.
In May, the Arizona Supreme Court officially ruled that marijuana concentrates (extracts) are legal in the state, ending years-long conflict and confusion between medical marijuana patients and local authorities. The good news continued from there.
