New Arizona Pot Dispensary Licenses Draw Hundreds of Applicants
Arizona officials say they received hundreds of applications for roughly 30 new licenses for medical marijuana dispensaries.
The Department of Health Services says it has processed 750 applications and that it anticipates awarding 31 dispensary licenses after reviewing those applications that are deemed to be complete and in in compliance with requirements.
Arizona now has 99 licensed dispensaries and that 92 of those are open and operating.
The department administers the medical marijuana program launched through voters’ approval of a 2010 proposition put on the 2010 ballot through an initiative campaign.
