Arizona cannabis cultivation companies adjust to new demand, expecting 5x more production
TEMPE, Arizona (KPHO/KTVK) It’s been just days since recreational marijuana began being sold at Arizona dispensaries, making Arizona one of only 15 states to legalize marijuana.
While this is a huge boom for the cannabis cultivation companies in Arizona like Columbia Care, they now have to change the way they operate to try to meet a whole new demand that happened overnight.
SWC Tempe, a dispensary run by Columbia Care, has a miniature cultivation room onsite with about 54 plants.
Employees said in about a week, they’ll get ready to cut all of them, send them to their other facility in Chino Valley, and then get them ready for packaging to sell at the dispensaries. They said sales sky-high right now, and they’re expecting to do about five times more production this year.

On Friday, the state approved 73 applications out of 79 submitted, kicking off its adult-use cannabis program (h/t Marijuana Business Daily). Out of 15 counties in Arizona, only nine had their dispensaries acquire the license for adult-use sales.
The outlet projects for the state’s recreational market to reach between $375 – $400 million in the first year, and between $700 million and $760 million by 2024.
