Arizona Has the Fastest Start to the Adult-Use Cannabis Market The companies that staked a flag in the state for the medical program were in a great position to quickly hit the ground running.
Arizona voters approved the sales of adult use cannabis back in November and by January some providers were able to begin sales. It was called the Smart and Safe Arizona Act or Prop. 207, and it favored existing medical marijuana license holders. The companies that staked a flag in the state for the medical program were in a great position to quickly hit the ground running. Historically, this is massive. We re already one of the strongest medical markets in the country, and this is just going to make things bigger, said Pankaj Talwar, CEO of four Sol Flower dispensaries in the Metro Phoenix area.
Sol Flower is kicking off recreational cannabis sales in Arizona on Thursday, Jan. 28.
The Phoenix-based dispensary brand received approval from the Arizona Department of Health Services to operate a recreational facility last week.
Sol Flower will continue to serve medical marijuana patients as well.
The retail brand is launched in 2019 by a vertically-integrated Arizona cannabis company, Copperstate Farms Management LLC.
The company has over 40 acres “under glass” and currently emoploys more than 600 people.
Arizona voters approved the use of recreational cannabis in November. According to the New York Times and The Associated Press, 59.9% of voters in the Grand Canyon State voted “yes” for Proposition 207, dubbed Smart & Safe.
