It's been nearly two years since Arizona voters legalized marijuana and now the wait for the dispensaries is over. Using a bingo-like machine, 99 certificates will be handed out today. The winners will be chosen at random. That authorizes them to build out their dispensary, to get their inventory in place, to get their cultivation facility up and running, but it doesn't authorize them to open their doors and sell to the card holders. That won't happen until an opening inspection takes place, but shops could be selling marijuana sooner rather than later. The state mapped out 126 areas where dispensaires could open. Some won't have a dispensary simply because no one applied. While other areas were highly sought after. For all the latest information about medical marijuana, check out www.azdhs.gov.
