Congrats on getting your medical marijuana certification! You’re almost there, but there are a few more steps to complete to get your Arizona state medical marijuana card. Let’s dive in!
It’s easy to renew your Arizona medical marijuana card with Leafwell. You’ll go through most of the same steps as when you apply for medical marijuana treatment for the first time in Arizona. The only difference is that you won’t get an email prompt from the state since you already have an account in their system.
*Per state regulations, you must apply to the state within 90 days of your certification. Failure to do so may result in additional fees.
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.
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.
If approved, your application will be processed in 15 business days.
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:
*Visitors must complete a visiting patient application with the state program.
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:
General Minor Information
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.
