Arizona to Launch Statewide Marijuana Delivery for Recreational Consumers Starting November 1

Key Points
  • Arizona has expanded legal marijuana delivery services to include adult-use consumers in addition to medical marijuana patients.
  • The Arizona Department of Health Services expedited the implementation of the delivery program well before the January 1, 2025 deadline, ensuring a safe and highly regulated marijuana program.
  • Changes to the adult use marijuana program and the medical marijuana program have been published, with final rules available on the Arizona Department of Health Services website.
  • The Arizona Dispensaries Association supports the advancement in the state's marijuana industry and encourages continued growth, accessibility, and regulatory compliance.

Previously, legal marijuana delivery services were only available to the state’s medical marijuana patients. The expansion represents a significant step forward for Arizona’s marijuana market and consumer accessibility.

This expedited timeline, well in advance of the January 1, 2025, deadline, comes thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Arizona Department of Health Services all while maintaining the directive of creating a safe, highly regulated marijuana program. Along with the changes to the adult use marijuana program additional changes to the medical marijuana program have also been published. The final rules for both programs can be found on the Arizona Department of Health Services website or Title 9 Chapter 17 Medical Marijuana and Chapter 18 Adult Use Marijuana. Ann Torrez, executive director of the ADA, commented, “We are thrilled that the Department of Health’s proactive approach and commitment to implementing a well-thought-out delivery program has helped us reach this landmark moment sooner than expected.”

This decision marks an unprecedented advancement in Arizona’s marijuana industry and opens access for adult-use consumers across the state.
