An effort to repeal Arizona law that allows for recreational marijuana dispensaries won’t go before voters this November.
The leader of the effort to outlaw dispensaries that sell to adults by 2028 has said he’s scrapping his plan.
The campaign needed to submit about 260,000 signatures by early July.
Susan Hwang owns dispensaries in Yuma and Mesa. She’s not surprised that a measure won’t be on the ballot.
“I know there were some industry leaders and even some customers who were concerned about it. But I think it was the right decision for the group to withdraw. Especially with the new de-schedule of medical marijuana federally,” Hwang said.
The Trump administration recently reclassified medical marijuana as a less dangerous drug. But recreational marijuana remains in the same group as heroin.
