Arizona One Step Closer to Legalizing Recreational Marijuana in 2020

A campaign initiative to legalize recreational marijuana in Arizona is one step closer to making its way on the 2020 ballot. The Smart & Safe Arizona initiative was filed with the Secretary of State on August 9. Back in 2016, a ballot measure legalizing adult-use cannabis failed to pass by a margin of about 3 percent.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • In order for the proposal to be placed on the November 2020 election ballot, advocates must collect 237,64 signatures from registered voters by July 2, 2020.
  • Major funding efforts for the proposal are coming from medical marijuana dispensaries already established in the state.
  • The bill gives back to the state and the people of Arizona in the form of tax revenue, education, and public safety.
