Mesa has 17 dispensaries licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). Shoppers must be at least 21 and show a valid photo ID, and an out-of-state license works fine for winter visitors. All but one store also serve medical cardholders. Unlike Phoenix, most Mesa stores close at 9 p.m., but one east Mesa shop is listed as open around the clock.
Mesa runs east from the Tempe line almost to Apache Junction, and its stores are spread to match. West Mesa has some of the most reviewed shops in Arizona, east Mesa has stores on Power Road, Higley Road and the Apache Trail, and the southeast corner near Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport has a cluster of its own. Two stores here carry other towns' names, Tempe and Queen Creek, but have Mesa addresses.

Mesa and Arizona Cannabis Laws: Purchase Limits, Public Use and Driving
Arizona caps every adult-use sale at an ounce, including no more than 5 grams of concentrate, and an adult may possess that much. Carrying between 1 and 2.5 ounces is a petty offense. Using cannabis in public is a petty offense as well, and that covers Usery Mountain Regional Park and the canal paths. Tubing the Salt River means federal ground, since the river runs through Tonto National Forest, where cannabis is illegal. Never consume in a moving vehicle, and do not drive impaired. Details are in our Arizona marijuana laws guide.
Cannabis Taxes in Mesa
Mesa's city tax on adult-use marijuana sales is 2%, one of the lower rates in the Valley, according to the Arizona Department of Revenue. With the 6.3% state and Maricopa County rate and Arizona's 16% excise tax, an adult-use purchase carries 24.3% in tax. Patients pay only the 8.3% transaction privilege tax. Compare with other states in our cannabis prices report.
