Prop 207 Has Made Arizona Weed History!
Here Is The Exclusive Guide To Everything You Need to Know
Cannabis Legal Authority / Marijuana Laws / Published: Jan-28-2020
Proposition 207, also known as the Smart and Safe Arizona Act, legalized recreational marijuana in November of 2020. Just three months later, The State Department of Health Services (DHS) approved applications for establishment licenses and the first recreational dispensaries opened their doors on Friday, January 22nd. These new Arizona weed laws are a triumph for a state that has historically been conservative leaning. Now that marijuana legalization is underway, rules and regulations have been established for the adult-use program to protect the health and safety of Arizonans. We have provided a breakdown to help new businesses and consumers better understand all the new laws.
Marijuana Establishment License Types
All applications for licenses that fall under the adult-use marijuana program can be found at The Department of Health Services, where they will be processed and approved assuming all requirements are met.
Retail
Licenses are valid for a single retail location at which marijuana and marijuana products are sold to consumers. An application fee for a retail license is $25,000 and the renewal fee is $5,000. Relocating a retail site or adding secondary retail sites require a fee of $2,500.
Cultivation
Licensees may cultivate, infuse or process marijuana at a single off-site location. The application fee for adding a cultivation site to an existing establishment license is $2,500. Marijuana products may not be transferred or sold to consumers and licenses are only available to an existing Arizona dispensary.
Manufacturer
Licensees may manufacture, package, and store marijuana products at a single off-site location. The application fee for adding a manufacturing site to an existing establishment license is $2,500. Marijuana products may not be transferred or sold to consumers and licenses are only available to an existing Arizona dispensary.
Testing Facility
A license allows a company to establish a lab site that will perform testing on samples of marijuana or marijuana products in order to meet specific acceptance criteria. The fee for a testing facility application is $25,000 and a license renewal is $5,000.
Packaging & Labeling
Federal and state legislatures require all cannabis products to be sold in child proof packaging containers OR sealed in child proof exit packaging at end of sale purchases. We supply child resistant packaging options for cannabis flower, edibles, and tinctures. All our packaging products are guaranteed to satisfy Arizona marijuana laws.
Pop-top containers are used to store adult-use marijuana (cannabis) and related medication. This packaging follows state compliance regulations. If you value ease of use while staying well within state guidelines, child-resistant pop-top containers are a trusted solution.
Merging convenience with security, our child-resistant mylar bags are ASTM and CPSC certified. Resealable mylar bags are vital to the laws and regulations of certain states that have legalized marijuana (cannabis). Our resealable bags, such as the patented Pinch N Slide, are child-resistant and customizable for producers and dispensaries alike.
