Cannabis in Tempe

How it works

How cannabis is sold in Tempe

A student moving into ASU housing learns quickly that Arizona's legal cannabis stops at the campus gate, because Arizona State University prohibits marijuana on all property it owns or leases, student housing included, according to ASU Student Life.

  1. Pick the store.
    The Mint Cannabis at 5210 S Priest Drive is open around the clock and, per its profile, sits in Guadalupe on Tempe's border. It is the only Tempe listing.
  2. Bring government ID.
    Adult-use sales are for people 21 and over under Prop 207, so carry a government-issued photo ID.
  3. Check the harvest date.
    Recent reviews mention flower dated more than a year back, so read the label before paying.
  4. Keep it off campus.
    ASU's ban covers housing, so carry it sealed and out of dorm rooms.

What did Prop 207 leave to the city?

Voters passed Prop 207 with about 60% in November 2020 and let local governments set zoning and licensing. Tempe already had a medical dispensary ordinance, No. 2011.01 of 27 January 2011. The Mint's state record shows a marijuana establishment licence valid to April 2028 covering retail, cultivation and edible preparation. Statewide limits and taxes are in the Arizona buying guide and on the Arizona hub.

Cannabis in Tempe: questions

Can I use cannabis in an ASU dorm?

No. ASU treats marijuana as banned on all campuses and university housing, because of federal law and the Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Act.

Is the Tempe store really open all night?

The Mint lists its Priest Drive store as open 24 hours a day, seven days a week; confirm before a late drive.
