Why Did Some Arizona Cities and Towns Ban Recreational Marijuana Dispensaries?

Recreational facilities were not the only affected centers in Arizona. Some cities also banned marijuana testing facilities. For example, through Ordinance Number 5601, the city of Mesa prohibited a marijuana testing facility from functioning fully. This move made it incredibly difficult for final marijuana products to be tested before offered for sale in Arizona. Mesa also banned the possession and consumption of marijuana on its “official city property.” These bans and new ordinances from Arizona state already harm the Social Equity Opportunity program in Arizona; in fact while it stands it’ll seriously limit Arizona’s potential for rapid growth and development.
