Arizona to Vote on Legalizing Marijuana

Posted Friday, September 2, 2016 by Andrew Charles Huff

The Arizona Supreme Court rejected the final challenge to a voter initiated act seeking to legalize recreational marijuana in the state, as is the law in Washington. The challenge came from an anti-marijuana group and was dismissed in a lower court after the judge found the group did not have a right to sue.

Proposition 205 will now be on the ballot in November, and if passed, the measure will allow adults 21 and older to carry up to one ounce of marijuana and consume it privately. Adults may also cultivate up to six marijuana plants in an enclosed space and possess the marijuana produced by the plants.
