PROCEDURAL
2026REFORM
HB 2179 tightens cannabis advertising
Arizona implements stricter advertising rules under HB 2179, limiting cannabis marketing with particular focus on reducing exposure to minors.
JUL 12, 2021REFORM
Expungement petitions open
Individuals convicted of certain marijuana possession, cultivation, and transportation offenses may begin petitioning courts to expunge their records. Unlike some states, Arizona’s process is petition-based rather than automatic.
JAN 22, 2021LEGALIZATION
Adult-use retail sales begin
Licensed sales launch just weeks after the vote — the fastest legalization-to-retail transition in U.S. history — as existing medical dispensaries convert to dual-use Marijuana Establishments. Adult-use carries a 16% excise tax.

NOV 30, 2020LEGALIZATION
Possession legal; Prop 207 takes effect
Adults 21+ may possess up to one ounce and home-cultivate up to six plants once results are certified. Prop 207 also establishes a social-equity ownership licensing program.
NOV 3, 2020LEGALIZATION
Voters approve Prop 207 (Smart and Safe Act)
Arizona voters legalize adult-use cannabis with 60% support — a reworking of the 2016 measure that had failed, now passing decisively.
SOURCE ↗
NOV 2016ENFORCEMENT
Voters reject Prop 205
A citizen-initiated adult-use legalization measure narrowly fails, with about 51% voting no — a setback later reversed by Prop 207 four years on.
