Tony Freeman, Rose Law Group partner and co-director of litigation says, “This effort to put Arizona’s recreational marijuana law back before voters in 2026 isn’t framed as a return to prohibition, but as a challenge to whether the regulatory promises made in 2020—particularly around youth marketing, advertising limits, and THC potency—have been fulfilled.
