Elections in Arizona |
---|
Arizona Proposition 207 was a voter initiative that appeared on the November 3, 2020, Arizona general election ballot to legalize cannabis for recreational use. Passing with 60% of the vote, the initiative legalized the possession of up to an ounce of cannabis, licensed sales at dispensaries, and personal cultivation of up to six plants. Along with Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota, Arizona is one of four states that legalized recreational marijuana via ballot measures in 2020.
The first state-licensed recreational marijuana sales in Arizona took place on January 22, 2021, making Arizona the fastest state to go from a legalization vote to retail sales in U.S. history.[2]
