Recreational marijuana deliveries in Arizona are set to start on Friday

The state-regulated delivery of recreational marijuana to adults is scheduled to be available starting Friday.

The practice was greenlit almost four years ago when Arizona voters approved Proposition 207.

Delivery, be it a pizza or your favorite strain, typically costs more. But four years after adult legalization, there is so much marijuana in Arizona that growers and dispensaries have had to cut retail prices.

“(The average price per unit) actually dropped 35% in two years,” said Lilach Mazor Power, president of the Arizona Dispensaries Association.

Mazor Power said consumers can offset paying a delivery fee with savings on their flower, vape or edibles.

“That is from such oversupply," Mazor Power said.

Mazor Power, who is also CEO of a collective that owns the Giving Tree Dispensary, said delivery orders have to be prepared at the dispensary. And there is a limit to how much drivers can carry.

“This is not the ice cream truck. You’re not just going to have a bunch of different products in your van and drive around and wait for orders.”

Medical patients can already get marijuana delivered.

The DEA has scheduled a hearing for December on whether to reclassify cannabis as a less-dangerous drug.
