Enjoy the hell out of the first 100% legal 4/20 tomorrow guys.
I've been in a few legal states and I don't doubt for a second that the AZ police won't be out in force tomorrow trying to snag people up. Be careful. Drive carefully, don't drive stoned.

Honestly as long as you’re not duiing or being a jerk about smoking in public you’re fine. Smoking in pubic is now a $150 citation so as long as you’re not behind the wheel I highly doubt much will be enforced.
The warning is mostly behind-the-wheel stuff. DUI's are fucking brutal and I'm not 100% on how they do it out here, transplant, but any big celebration is a day they turn it up a notch. Which of course has some realistic, non corrupt, reasons as tomorrow there's going to be a higher chance of someone driving stoned. Just being paranoid (they used to call it vigilance in the Navy, now as a civilian I'm just paranoid.)
Yes a dui in Arizona is the strictest in the US. If you get caught. You’re screwed. Be safe homies
Weed is legal but if you don’t have a medical card they can bust you for a DUI if you have metabolites (hydroxy and carboxy THC) in your system. Having a card will shield you from being prosecuted for the presence of metabolites but you can still be charged if you have active THC in your system. Don’t drive for 24 hours after ingesting cannabis if you want to be safe (with a card). They can still charge you with a DUI if the arresting officer feels that you are “impaired to the slightest degree”.
They can still get you for the DUI. The med card in AZ right now only really helps at protecting you in the workplace. I was charged with an alcohol DUI (have a post about it in my profile if interested) and am lucky they didn’t press for the tree when they very well could of (had my card at the time). I just wrapped up litany of classes, I can assure you that they do not swab. They do not care about “active metabolites”. They just take blood land we all know how that goes if you like to smoke. Even if you are a chronic smoker that just tokes to “get regular” they will take your blood results the same way they would for fresh lungs that just smoked prior to hopping in the car. All they care about is the concentration. My lawyer ($5,000) will say over and over not to drive if you smoke weed out here. This is because of how unfair current laws will treat you.
You may have heard differently, but after being on this side of the law you DO NOT want to rely on even the strongest of second hand information.
Happy 4/20 tho 🤑
Lmfao “100% legal “.... okay then.
Yeah, Rec. Med. AZ
That’s not 100% legal. But what ever floats your 15 year olds boat. Talk to me when its legal federally gee! Happy 420!!! 🥳🥳🥳
You've got the wrong attitude for today man. Yeah, its 100% legal in AZ and why I posted in this board about Arizona and cannabis.
Got some good info from other replies as well that's helpful.
BTW 39 years old and have ran my own delivery + gardens in CA before moving around. I know what federally legal means and I know what legal in a state means, hence why I posted about it being legal for the first time in AZ for 4/20. Because we are in AZ and its 4/20 and this is the first 4/20 where Rec folk, as well as medical, can enjoy.
Good point
