History

Doctors were first permitted to prescribe class one controlled substances such as marijuana in Arizona by ballot initiative Proposition 200 in 1996 (A.R.S. §13-3412.01). In 2010 proposition 203 expanded the legal status of medical use marijuana by allowing the licensing of dispensaries and registration of patients with a qualifying medical condition under the Department of Health services (DHS) (Title 36 Chapter 28.1 Arizona Revised Statutes).

DHS oversees the registration and certification of Dispensaries. Dispensaries must operate on a not-for-profit basis (A.R.S. §§36-2804, 36-2806) and obtain a transaction privilege tax (TPT) license from the DOR (A.A.C. Title 9 Chapter 17).
