Concluding Arizona’s extended effort to get their pro-legalization initiative before its constituents this November, on Wednesday the state’s Supreme Court shot down the final legal obstacle by rejecting the most recent argument offered by Arizonans For Responsible Drug Policy.

And thanks to the High Court’s recent assessment, Arizona could soon be joining the elevated states of Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington as a recreational marijuana state – provided of course Arizona’s 420 community comes out in force to vote on election day.

Provided Arizona’s Proposition 205 passes:

Adults over the age of 21 would be allowed to consume recreational marijuana in private and possess up to one ounce of marijuana.
Allowing property owners and landlords to prohibit the cultivation of cannabis on their property, Prop 205 would allow adult property owners to cultivate up to six mature marijuana plants in a locked cultivation area within the residence.
The passage of Prop 205 would allow for the establishment of Arizona’s Department of Marijuana License and Control to regulate and monitor the state’s network of marijuana dispensaries, licensed grow-ops and production facilities, as well as all testing facilities. Enforcing all regulations, Arizona’s dopest department would oversee enforcement of all regulations, check for state compliance within all facilities, and ultimately investigate any violations.
Capping the potential number of recreational marijuana dispensaries at 10% of the allocated liquor licenses – of which there are currently 180 – adults over the age of 21 will have approximately 18 recreational pot shops throughout the state to choose from.
Providing a voice to the local municipalities who choose to restrict when and where recreational marijuana can be sold, Proposition 205 allows for the local restriction of marijuana commerce based on location and time.
Prop 205 also requires all Arizona dispensaries to have their cannabinoid-based products – including all cannabis – tested for impurities and pesticides in addition to mandating the adherence of strict labeling and packaging guidelines.
Providing some much-needed green to Arizona’s cash-strapped schools and Department of Health Services, Proposition 205 fires up a 15% excise tax on all retail marijuana sales — 20% will go to Arizona’s Department of Health Services and 40% will be allocated to the Department of Education.

Working to create fear and anxiety in the Grand Canyon state, the legal challenge brought by Arizonans For Responsible Drug Policy concluded the summary of Prop. 205 was too vague, according to CBS news:

“Community members throughout Arizona came together to challenge the content of the initiative summary. The summary, which will appear on the ballot to explain Proposition 205 in 155 words, does not accurately describe the initiative or the full effect that it will have on our state if it passes.”

As its currently written, the ballot summary reads:

Winning another battle for common sense and the American petri dish of democracy, a Superior Court Judge from Maricopa County dismissed the legal challenge to Prop. 205. Noting that, while perplexing for some, since Proposition 205 violates no election code … it should remain on the November 8th ballot.
