Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is warning retailers that selling THC-infused products without a marijuana establishment licenses is illegal.

The warning comes after the office was made aware of local and national retailers selling beverages and edibles without a license, with an understanding the products may be legal under the Federal Farm Bill of 2018.

Mayes said in press release that is not the case.

“If you’re selling THC edibles or beverages and you’re not a licensed dispensary, you’re violating Arizona law,” she said.

In letters to retailers and law enforcement entitites, Mayes clarified Arizona law does not allow unlicensed businesses to sell any THC-infused product meant for people to eat or drink. That includes products containing delta-8 THC, delta-9 THC, and similar substances.

Arizona law states only licensed and regulated dispensaries can sell the products, Mayes said. The attorney general is giving businesses until April 24 to clear their shelves before enforcement begins.

“This is about protecting public health and ensuring the will of the voters is respected,” Mayes said. “Retailers should act now to avoid penalties later.”

Yavapai County Sheriff David Rhodes, who serves as the chair of the Arizona Sheriffs Association, supports the order. He also is opposing Senate Bill 1556, which would allow grocery stores and liquor licensed business to sell hemp THC-infused drinks, according to a press release.
