Attorney General Opinion I24-005 (2024) treats hemp-synthesized intoxicants including Delta-8 as Schedule I controlled substances outside the licensed dispensary system. Retail enforcement began April 24, 2025; products remain on some shelves but their legality is contested pending litigation.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Non-intoxicating CBD is legal under the Arizona hemp program. Widely available in retail and online.

Question 3

What is the age limit for hemp products in Arizona?

Accepted Answer

The minimum age to purchase hemp products in Arizona is 21.

Question 4

Will hemp products be legal in Arizona after November 2026?

Accepted Answer

Arizona's intoxicating-hemp market now rests on AG Opinion I24-005 and pending litigation rather than clear statutory protection. Section 781 of H.R. 5371 (Pub. L. 119-37), effective November 12, 2026, layers a federal 0.4 mg total-THC-per-container cap on top of state enforcement, removing the remaining retail path for Delta-8, Delta-9, and similar products and pushing any surviving market toward the licensed cannabis system.
