INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS State by State
Arizona
A key marijuana bill failed in the Arizona Legislature, frustrating social equity advocates who believe
more established companies torpedoed the bill to monopolize the state's cannabis market.
The defeat of House Bill 2050 means social equity licensees will, for now, be shut out of most of the
major metro markets in Arizona, including Phoenix and Tucson.
By contrast, longstanding medical marijuana companies in Arizona have wider latitude when
choosing locations and were given first crack at selling both medical and recreational cannabis
products when the adult-use market launched in January 2020.
Arkansas
State Supreme Court justices harshly criticized Arkansas' medical marijuana regulators in both
concurring and dissenting opinions over a recent lawsuit regarding an MMJ business license.
The justices blasted the state Medical Marijuana Commission for a variety of failures despite
upholding the MMC's decision to not grant a license to the company behind the lawsuit, Eureka Green.
" We see one appeal after another that highlights the MMC's shortcomings, " Justice Courtney Rae
Hudson wrote in an opinion, adding that " we should not forget " allegations of bribery dating to 2018,
when the Arkansas MMJ market launched.
The justices also criticized the MMC for not updating its rules and protocols, as per earlier legal rulings,
and found that regulators had fallen short on both the licensing process and industry rulemaking.
