Exciting times have arrived in Arizona's cannabis industry!
The Arizona Department of Health Services (the
"Department") (1) released final interim rules for
recreational licensees, and (2) issued new recreational licenses.
As noted by Marijuana Moment's Kyle Jaeger, the marks
the
fastest transition from voter approval to sales
implementation of any state that has legalized marijuana to
date.
Specifically, on January 22, 2021, the Department issued 86 new
licenses for adult use or recreational use marijuana (

the
Harvest dispensary in North Scottsdale on Friday (January
22), and the lines were literally around the building! So, it
appears that recreational sales have started out strong in
Arizona.
