Arizona will officially allow adult-use cannabis deliveries starting November 1, significantly expanding consumer access beyond medical marijuana patients. Previously restricted to medical patients, this service will now cater to adults 21 and over, facilitated by the Arizona Department of Health Services (AZDHS).
The Arizona Dispensaries Association (ADA) announced the move on Tuesday, applauding AZDHS for their proactive steps in expediting the rollout. “We are thrilled that the Department of Health's proactive approach and commitment to implementing a well-thought-out delivery program has helped us reach this landmark moment sooner than expected,” said Ann Torrez, executive director of the ADA.

Impact Of Arizona's Cannabis Delivery Expansion
This initiative places Arizona at the forefront of enhancing cannabis market convenience well ahead of the original January 2025 deadline. The expansion of delivery services is expected to enhance consumer accessibility and convenience. Furthermore, industry experts anticipate positive impacts on job creation, economic development and ancillary businesses such as technology, software and transportation.
Local dispensaries stand to gain from increased sales, while multi-state operators (MSOs) in Arizona, such as Curaleaf Holdings CURLF and Trulieve Cannabis Corp. TCNNF, could capitalize on expanded consumer access and demand growth.
