Flagstaff has 3 dispensaries licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). Grand Canyon travelers, skiers and Northern Arizona University students who are 21 or older can buy with a valid photo ID, and an out-of-state license is fine. All three stores also serve medical cardholders. Flagstaff is surrounded by national forest and is the jumping-off point for the Grand Canyon, and federal law applies on both.
Flagstaff has more dispensaries than any other northern Arizona city, and its three stores serve a huge region of travelers on I-40, I-17 and US 89 as well as locals. Stores here open at 9 a.m., an hour later than most in Phoenix. The bigger issue for visitors is where cannabis can go after the sale: almost every famous place around Flagstaff is federal or tribal land.

- Forest and mountains: Coconino National Forest surrounds the city and includes Arizona Snowbowl and the trails up the San Francisco Peaks. It is federal land too.
- Tribal land: US 89 north of Flagstaff leads onto the Navajo Nation, where tribal and federal law apply instead of Proposition 207.
- NAU: Northern Arizona University is Arizona Board of Regents property, and stores cannot deliver to campus.
- Driving: Mountain highways and impairment do not mix, and a DUI applies at any level of impairment. Passengers may not consume in a moving car either.
