Chandler has 6 dispensaries licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). Adults 21 and up can shop with a valid ID, out-of-state licenses included, and 5 of the stores also serve medical patients. Chandler's city tax on cannabis is 1.5%, the lowest of the big Phoenix-area cities, so the same cart costs a little less here than in Phoenix or Glendale.
Chandler's six stores are spread thin across a large suburban city, with no single dispensary strip. Two sit near the I-10 on the west side, two are in central Chandler and two serve the south end of town. That makes the right store mostly a question of which one is closest to home or work and on the hours you keep.

Chandler and Arizona Cannabis Laws: Purchase Limits, Public Use and Driving
A single purchase in Arizona tops out at 1 ounce, no more than 5 grams of which can be concentrate. Adults can keep that amount on them; possessing over an ounce but not more than 2.5 ounces is a petty offense. Smoking in public places, such as Tumbleweed Park, downtown Chandler's sidewalks, or city trails, is also a petty offense. Heading south on I-10 means crossing the Gila River Indian Community, where tribal and federal law apply instead of Proposition 207. Passengers may not consume in a moving vehicle either, and impaired driving is a DUI. Our Arizona marijuana laws guide has more.
