As of 2023, Delta-8 THC is illegal in the state of Arizona. Despite the federal legality of this cannabinoid, Arizona has specific state regulations that affect Delta-8 THC. According to the state's law, any form of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is prohibited, and cannabis is listed as a Schedule I drug. The definition of cannabis under state law includes "the resin extracted from any part of a plant of the genus cannabis, and every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of such plant, its seeds, or its resin." This broad definition encompasses Delta-8 THC.
Even though Arizona Proposition 207 legalized Delta-9 THC for recreational use in 2020, Delta-8 THC remains illegal due to the aforementioned laws. It's important to note that while recreational marijuana is legal in Arizona, Delta-8 THC is not, creating a legal contradiction. However, there is anticipation that Delta-8 THC might be legalized in the future as the country moves toward broader cannabis legalization.
For now, residents and visitors in Arizona are advised to avoid purchasing or using Delta-8 THC products to comply with state law.
