2020 Arizona Proposition 207

Arizona Proposition 207, passed in the November 2020 election, legalized the recreational use of marijuana for adults aged 21 and older. It allows individuals to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and grow up to six plants at home. The measure also established a regulatory framework for the sale of marijuana, with sales subject to a 16% excise tax, which is allocated for public programs such as education and healthcare. Additionally, it aimed to expunge prior marijuana-related convictions, enhancing social equity in the state's approach to cannabis.
