Scottsdale, AZ Authorizes 6 Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

The Arizona Department of Health Services which regulates the Arizona Medical Marijuana program recently approved 6 applications for Medical Marijuana dispensaries to be located within the city limits.

Arizona had stopped the approval process after the recent increases in federal crackdowns on Medical Marijuana facilities across the nation. Arizona filed a lawsuit in federal court to determine if Arizona's Medical Marijuana Laws conflicted with federal drug laws.

The Department of Health will not complete the approval process until they hear back the lawsuit. The applications approved would allow for onsite cultivation and distribution to registered patients.
