Discover cannabis culture in Scottsdale, AZ

Scottsdale is one of the rapidly growing suburban cities surrounding Phoenix. As part of the greater Phoenix metroplex, Scottsdale provides almost everything anyone could want, from riverside walkways and scenic desert vistas to beautiful golf courses and fine dining. As one of the eastern-most cities in the metroplex, Scottsdale offers easy access to Arizona deserts and endless miles of adventure. The Tonto National Forest is just to the east, along with hiking destinations like Mazatzal Peak and the gorgeous Bartlett Lake. Scottsdale proper is filled with beautiful parkland, easy access to the downtown area, and all the shopping, eating, and drinking spots you could hope for.

Scottsdale also offers something for the cannabis community. Arizona legalized medical marijuana in 2010 and just recently legalized recreational marijuana in November 2020. There are a few medical dispensaries throughout Scottsdale, most of which operate between the hours of 8AM and 7PM, and one dispensary currently runs from 7AM to 10PM and also offers delivery services. The state will begin accepting adult-use retail applications in January 2021, and recreational weed should be available for sale in various locations starting in March/April of the same year. It is still unknown if a Scottsdale dispensary will be one of the first locations to sell adult-use weed, but the city is located near other cities that will also be vying for adult-use licenses. Please note that, regardless of the new laws, it is still illegal to smoke in public or to drive while under the influence.
