Outside midtown s Harvest cannabis dispensary, Sammy Magro said she had no problem standing in line to get legal THC cartridges instead of purchasing them off the black market as she had done for years. It was a sunny day in the low 70s and the line was moving quickly, so Magro didn t mind the wait, she said. I m excited about this. It s my first time buying legally, Magro said. I m looking for cartridges today because it s better than getting them off the street because they re pure. Bryce Hill said he has bought recreational marijuana in other legal states and he was glad adult-use sales had finally come to Pima County because of the tax benefits.
Desert Bloom Re-Leaf Center, 8060 E. 22nd St., opened to recreational sales yesterday.
Desert Bloom, which carries a wide range of flower, edibles, concentrates, lotions and similar products, follows midtown dispensary Harvest, which began recreational sales last Friday.
Other dispensaries are expected to start offering the sales in the coming weeks after the Arizona Department of Health Services allowed recreational cannabis sales to begin, letting dispensary owners know adult-use recreational sales can move forward as soon as licenses are approved and dispensaries are set up to handle both aspects of the market. Applications for adult-use sales began on Jan. 19, but were restricted to existing medical marijuana establishments that qualified for early dual license applications. The language of Proposition 207 that legalized cannabis use for adults over the age of 21 gave AZDHS two months to review and approve applications.
In a move that gave local cannabis watchers and many dispensary owners a serious case of whiplash, the Arizona Department of Health Services gave the green-light to recreational pot sales last week, catching a lot of people in the industry off guard. Harvest Enterprises, Inc., founded by CEO and Tempe native Steve White, had the first-ever Arizona adult-use sale in its Scottsdale location and Harvest became the first Tucson-area dispensary to sell recreational marijuana, with patients waiting in line for hours outside the midtown outlet at 2734 E. Grant Road on Friday, Jan. 22 and continuing throughout the weekend. Harvest s opening came after the AZDHS allowed recreational cannabis sales to begin, letting dispensary owners know adult-use recreational sales can move forward as soon as licenses are approved and dispensaries are set up to handle both aspects of the market.
With just two weeks of shopping left until the Big Day, it s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! And while the stocking stuffers we are highlighting this year can only be purchased by cardholders and can only be given to cardholders (IT S THE LAW!), these fine products and many more will soon be available for anyone over 21, thanks to the passage of Prop 207, which legalized adult recreational cannabis use. And that s a great gift for those who don t want to go through the hassle of getting a medical card. Enjoy the high holidays!
