Personal THC consumption was legalized in Arizona in 2020, ending cannabis prohibition and replacing it with a system to tax and regulate cannabis for adults 21 and over. Following the Agricultural Act of 2018 ("2018 Farm Bill"), which legalized CBD and hemp production nationally by removing hemp and its derivatives (Cannabis sativa-L containing no more than 0.3% THC) from the Controlled Substances Act, Arizona chose to legalize the production and sale of certain hemp-derived THC and CBD products.

In May, 2018, Governor Dough Doucey signed the Arizona Senate Bill 1098, or what is colloquially referred to as the “hemp law.” The Arizona hemp law established one of the most comprehensive regulatory frameworks for hemp and hemp extracts in the country. This Bill relates to the growth of industrial hemp and the regulation of hemp extract and provides for the licensing of cannabinoid related hemp extract and the requirements for such licenses.

Arizona is known as one of the most welcoming states to hemp and hemp-derived goods. Despite the wide definition of hemp in the statute, hemp-derived products are totally legal and commercialized in Arizona.

The Safe and Smart Act, Proposition 207, passed into law in November 2020, legalizing marijuana for adult personal use. Adults over the age of 21 are permitted to possess, buy, transport, or process 1 ounce or less of marijuana or 5 grams or less of marijuana concentrate under the initiative.

In Arizona, the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) is in charge of licensing and regulating marijuana, marijuana retail sales, marijuana cultivation, and testing facilities. The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) is responsible for collecting the excise tax (placed exclusively by the state) and transaction privilege tax (imposed by the state, counties, and cities) on adult use marijuana sales.

Medical Marijuana in Arizona

The term “medical marijuana” refers to using the whole unprocessed marijuana plant or its basic extracts to treat a disease or symptom. Studies show that the marijuana plant contains chemicals that may help treat a range of illnesses or symptoms, and can assist patients suffering from serious medical conditions by alleviating pain and improving their quality of life.

While some states have already legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes, the issue is still being hotly debated in many others. As of 2019, a total of 41 states in the US have successfully legislated medical marijuana programs, with 19 states adopting recreational cannabis programs, and 23 states decriminalizing cannabis entirely.

There are now 17 states in the United States that have approved the use of medicinal marijuana. By approving Ballot Proposition 203 in 2010, Arizona became the 15th state to do so, modifying Title 36 of the Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) by adding Chapter 28.1 named "Arizona Medical Marijuana Act."

A person with written certification from a physician may seek registration under this act in order to qualify for the use of medicinal marijuana.

The Arizona Medical Marijuana Act also limits the cultivation of medical marijuana to non-profit dispensaries that must be certified by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and respect specific guidelines for the production and distribution of marijuana to registered users.

According to Arizona state regulations:

• Patient possession limits: no more than two and one-half ounces of usable marijuana per 14 day period
• Home cultivation: allowed for adult residents, if residence is further than 25 miles from a state-licensed dispensary facility. No more than twelve marijuana plants in an “enclosed, locked facility.”
• Reciprocity: the act provides a limited reciprocity to ‘visiting qualifying patients’. In order to qualify, the patient:

(1) must not be a resident of Arizona (or has resided in Arizona for less than 30 days),

(2) must have been diagnosed with a medical condition recognized under the Act, and

(3) must possess a medical marijuana registration card or its equivalent that was issued pursuant to the laws of another state.

The out-of-state registration card has the same force and effect as a medical card issued in Arizona except that the visiting qualifying patient may not purchase medical marijuana in Arizona.

What is stronger, Delta 9 or Delta-8?

Generally, Delta 9 THC is stronger than Delta 8 THC. According to a recent study, the effects of Delta 8 are much milder, with participants comparing this compound to ‘Delta 9’s younger sibling’. Due to their milder effects, Delta 8 gummies are a great choice for people new to products containing hemp.

How strong is Delta-9 THC?

The strength of Delta 9 and its effect on a person depends on 2 factors:

1. The dose of Delta 9 taken
2. How accustomed the consumer is to taking Delta 9 THC

Additionally, the following factors also influence how Delta 9 affects the person taking it:

• What is the consumption method? Some THC substances travel through the lungs and become accessible more quickly (like vaping or smoking). Some products must be digested (like edibles, gummies, oils, or capsules). These various forms may influence how long it takes to affect your brain and how powerful Delta 9 will affect you. Some forms of consumption have a quick and intense impact, while others have a longer, constant, and less obvious psychoactive effect.
• What is the quality of the Delta 9 used? Is it pure? Is it saturated with chemicals or other substances? What percentage of Delta 9 THC is consumed? Higher levels have far greater impacts.
• How often is the product used? If you take Delta 9 THC and other cannabinoids on a daily basis, they will remain in your system and influence how responsive you are to new inputs of Delta 9.

Is Delta 8 THC legal in Arizona?

Delta 8 THC may or may not be legal in Arizona for personal use, but the sale and manufacturing of products containing Delta 8 THC is illegal in Arizona.

If you live in another state, you can buy our Delta 8 THC gummies.

Delta 8 legality nationally

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) confirmed the illegal status of "synthetically produced THCs."

Because the hemp plant naturally generates minimal levels of Delta 8, manufacturers have used hemp-derived CBD to turn it into Delta 8 via isomerization.

Converting one chemical component into another, in this case, tetrahydrocannabinol, might be problematic since it permits the DEA to classify Delta 8 as a "synthetically generated tetrahydrocannabinol."

Delta 8 legality in Arizona

In Arizona, Delta-8 is illegal under state law. The use, possession, sale, distribution, and production of hemp-derived Delta-8 is prohibited.

Is Delta-9 legal in all states?

Is Delta 9 an indica or sativa?

Delta 9 itself is neither an indica or a sativa, but it can come from either of the two main strain types of the cannabis plant: Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica. These cannabis plants produce different effects, as indica strains contain more CBD, leading to a more relaxing high. Unlike hemp-derived Delta 9, cannabis-derived Delta 9 THC is not federally legal.

Do Delta 9 Gummies show up on a drug test?

Yes, even if you consume legal Delta 9 Gummies, you may fail a drug test. If you only took Delta 9 once, it will likely be cleared from your urine in four days or less. If you have taken it habitually, it can take a month or more to clear your system for a drug test.

Can I fly with Delta 9 gummies?

Yes, you can fly to and from 48 US states with hemp-derived Delta 9 gummies that contain less than 0.3% of THC, except Idaho. If you are traveling abroad, the legality status of hemp products in your destination country will dictate whether you can fly with Delta 9. Remember, hemp is a controlled substance in many countries, and even fully illegal in some.

Avoid purchasing hemp Delta 9 THC products from any unauthorized merchant, including strangers on the internet, on social media outlets, or forums. The risk of purchasing a fake product is significantly high. Furthermore, businesses that sell hemp-infused items must be registered with the state.

Is Delta-10 legal in Arizona?

Scientists classify Delta 10 THC as semi-synthetic since it is created by substantially altering the CBD component. This is where the legal difficulties of Delta-10 enter in. In its Interim Final Rule, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) affirmed that "all synthetically generated tetrahydrocannabinol remain Schedule I Controlled Substances.”

Arizona’s stance on Delta 10 appears to be the same as for Delta 8: that it cannot be legally manufactured, produced, or sold in Arizona.

Is THC-O legal in Arizona?

THC-O is currently illegal in Arizona.

Although it is federally legal, THC-O is not legal in all US states, and many have revoked its legal status in recent years due to its potency.

Is Delta 9 federally legal?

The Farm Bill that was passed in 2018 made it legal in the United States to grow and sell hemp-derived products that contain 0.3% or less Delta-9 THC by dry weight. This law applies to all states in the US, plus Puerto Rico and D.C.

However, some states have additional restrictions on Delta-9 THC, and California is the only state with general restrictions on hemp-derived Delta-9 THC. These restrictions involve testing requirements and packaging restrictions.

Despite these restrictions, hemp Delta 9 products are still legal in 49 states, making them widely available to consumers across the country.

Does Delta 9 show up on drug tests?

Yes, Delta 9 will show up on a drug test, as will all other forms of THC. If you know you’re going to be drug tested, stop taking products with THC about a month or so before the test, even if the product in question is fully legal.

Does Delta-9 get you stoned?

Delta 9 THC can get you “high” or “stoned” at a high enough dosage. Delta 9 gummies are a type of cannabis-infused candy that contain lower doses of Delta 9 THC. Our Delta 9 gummies will not make you high if you follow our recommended dosage—but you will experience the beneficial effects of Delta 9.

The effects of Delta 9 products can vary depending on the person, with factors such as genetics, tolerance levels, and other variables playing a role.

If you're new to Delta 9 gummies, it's important to start with a low dose and see how you react before consuming more.
