Arizona passed Proposition 207 in 2020, legalizing recreational cannabis. The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) regulates the cannabis industry. Adults may possess 1 ounce in public (up to 5 grams concentrate) and grow 6 plants at home. A prior criminal record for cannabis possession may be eligible for expungement under Prop 207.
Despite recreational legality in Arizona, cannabis remains federally illegal. Employers can — and many do — still require drug tests.
The most common pre-employment test in Arizona is the urine test, which can detect THC metabolites for up to 30 days in regular users. See: How long does THC stay in urine?
