Scottsdale has 4 dispensaries licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). Resort guests, golfers and other visitors 21 or older can buy with an out-of-state driver license or a passport. Every Scottsdale store is a dual licensee that also serves medical patients. Three of the four sit in the Scottsdale Airpark business district, not in Old Town.
For a city that draws so many tourists, Scottsdale has few dispensaries, and they are not where most visitors stay. Old Town and the downtown nightlife district have none. Instead, the stores are grouped in the north-central business area around Scottsdale Airport, several miles up Scottsdale Road or the Loop 101 from Old Town. Scottsdale also has one of the lowest city tax rates on cannabis in the Valley.
