As of today, an MMJ card in Arizona entitles you to possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana flower (or it’s equivalent in concentrate, edible or topical form) every two weeks. Without an MMJ card, you’re entitled to possess exactly none of that. In nearly every state where recreational cannabis is legal, the amounts of possession allowed without a medical card are less than one ounce. There is no reason to believe Arizona won’t follow suit on this guideline.
