Proposition 207 (Legalization of marijuana)

Proposition 207, also known as the Arizona Cannabis Legalization Initiative, was approved in 2020, legalizing recreational marijuana for adults 21 and older. It allows possession of up to one ounce of marijuana and personal cultivation of up to six plants. The law sets rules for licensing retail stores, manufacturing, and testing facilities, aiming to regulate the industry and generate tax revenue. It also expunges prior marijuana-related criminal convictions, promoting social justice. Overall, Proposition 207 establishes a legal framework for adult-use cannabis, balancing regulation with personal freedom while incorporating measures to address public safety and social equity.
