After More Than A Year Since It Was Slated To Begin, The Arizona Department Of Health Services Will Likely Award Certificates In August

The Arizona Department of Health Services will begin accepting applications for medical marijuana dispensaries May 14, restarting the industry that had been delayed for more than a year.

PHOENIX – On Friday morning, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says she will not refile a federal lawsuit asking for a ruling on whether the state can carry out its medical marijuana law.

The law has been in limbo since voters approved it last year.

She said the state will start accepting and processing applications for dispensaries — once a legal challenge to the state’s rules is resolved. That case is pending in state court.

So, it is still not clear when marijuana dispensaries could actually start selling marijuana.
