Arizona legalized cannabis for medical use in 2010 and for recreational use in 2020. It is legal for Arizona medical marijuana patients and anyone 21 or older to buy cannabis products from Arizona dispensaries.

This November, five states will be voting on recreational marijuana legalization for adults 21 years and older. Currently, 19 states it total (and Washington, D.C.) have legalized cannabis use for adults. However, cannabis is still illegal on a federal level.

The 5 states are:

    • Arkansas
    • Maryland
    • Missouri
    • North Dakota
    • South Dakota

Ballot initiatives are up for vote in all five of these states in this November’s midterm elections. If they all vote to legalize recreational cannabis, then half the nation will have legalized it at a state level.

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.
