Arizona Residents Can Now Get Recreational Cannabis Delivered to Their Homes
As of last Friday, Arizona residents aged 21 and over can have recreational cannabis delivered directly to their homes. This marks a significant expansion of the state’s cannabis delivery program, which was previously only available to medical marijuana patients.
The Arizona Department of Health Services has partnered with individual dispensaries and third-party services to offer legal delivery of cannabis products. This move is expected to increase access to cannabis across the state, according to officials with the Arizona Dispensaries Association.
Recreational marijuana sales were first legalized in Arizona in 2021, following a voter-approved ballot initiative. The state’s cannabis industry has since seen significant growth, with sales reaching over $1 billion in 2023.
The expansion of the delivery program is a result of the state’s proactive approach to implementing a well-planned delivery system, according to Ann Torrez, executive director of the Arizona Dispensaries Association. The association is thrilled that the program has been implemented sooner than expected, making it easier for residents to access cannabis products.
With this new development, Arizona joins a growing list of states that offer legal cannabis delivery services. The expansion is expected to have a positive impact on the state’s cannabis industry, providing increased access to products and services for residents.
