Legal limitations for card holders

Navigating the legal landscape of medical marijuana can be a bit tricky, but we’re here to break it down for you.

Semi-Synthetic Hemp-Derived Cannabinoids Illegal: Delta-8, delta-10, and other psychoactive, hemp-derived cannabinoids are illegal in Arizona. Their use, possession, sale, distribution, and production are prohibited in the state due to concerns about the unregulated market and minors’ use of these products.

Recreational Use Legal: Recreational marijuana is legal for adult use in Arizona. Recreational users, 21 or older, can possess up to 1 ounce (28 g) of marijuana (with no more than 5 grams being marijuana concentrate) or grow up to six marijuana plants at their home (with up to 12 marijuana plants in households with two or more adult members).

Home Cultivation is Allowed: Approved medical marijuana patients or caregivers can grow marijuana at home if they live more than 25 miles from a dispensary and were granted cultivation rights on their application.

If you’re 21 or older, you can grow up to six plants at home for personal use. If two or more adults live in the same residence, a maximum of 12 plants is allowed. Cultivation must be in a secure, enclosed area, such as a closet or room, to prevent access by minors.

How to become a caregiver

If you’re looking to become a caregiver for a medical marijuana patient in Arizona, there are some important rules and steps you’ll need to follow.

Picking Up for Patients

Good news! As a caregiver, you can pick up medicinal cannabis from a dispensary on behalf of a patient. Handy, right?

Caregiver Limitations

An individual may not serve as a Personal Caregiver for more than five patients at once. If the patient is a minor, having a caregiver is a must.

Application Process

Caregivers will need a completed physician’s attestation form, and they’ll require their completed application form, too. The process for a caregiver’s medical cannabis card is similar to the process for a patient.

Eligibility Criteria

If you have designated a caregiver within the ADHS online system, your caregiver must also apply.

  • Your patient application must be completed and approved before your designated caregiver can apply through the ADHS online system.
  • Your caregiver will need your qualified patient registry identification card number, full name, and date of birth to begin the application process.
  • Please note that your caregiver must also submit fingerprints to ADHS through the U.S. Mail as part of his or her application.
  • Caregiver application fee: $200

Timing

If approved, your application will be processed in 15 business days.

Can I use a medical card from another state in Arizona?

Arizona has medical cannabis reciprocity laws with some limitations. To buy cannabis with an out-of-state medical card in Arizona, you must qualify as a “visiting qualifying patient.”

This means you must have an out-of-state medical cannabis card with a medical condition that satisfies Arizona’s medical cannabis requirements.

And if you’re an Arizona resident traveling elsewhere, the following states and U.S. territories also accept or recognize out-of-state medical marijuana cards:

  • Arkansas *
  • Delaware
  • Hawaii *
  • Louisiana
  • Maine
  • Michigan (at the dispensary’s discretion)
  • Nevada
  • New Hampshire
  • New Jersey *
  • New Mexico
  • Oklahoma *
  • Puerto Rico
  • Rhode Island
  • U.S. Virgin Islands *
  • Utah * (up to two 21-day periods in a calendar year)
  • Washington, D.C.

*Visitors must complete a visiting patient application with the state program.

Minor patient information

Leafwell is currently unable to certify minor patients. Minors must see (2) providers. The state requires that the following (2) forms be completed by (2) different providers:

  1. Physician Certification Form
  2. Reviewing Physician Form for Patients Under 18

General Minor Information

Where to buy medical marijuana in Arizona

In Arizona, medical marijuana patients may acquire cannabis at any licensed dispensary. While Arizona does not have medical marijuana-specific facilities, some businesses may be more patient-accommodating than others.

Patients also enjoy access to higher potency cannabis products than recreational users, and some dispensaries provide separate lines with shorter wait times for MMJ cardholders. Finally, medical patients can have their cannabis delivered to their homes, provided they live more than 25 miles from the nearest dispensary.
