30 Arizona dispensaries that offer first-time deals

Discover 30 Arizona dispensaries that offer deals to first-time buyers.

As Arizona continues to go green with the legalization of recreational cannabis, more dispensaries are opening shop and enticing growth through new-customer discounts. While there are strict laws around what can be offered as a homie hook-up, these deals are absolute fire.

Most dispensaries also offer discounts or special deals to loyal customers, seniors, and veterans through daily promotions. Deals are often for both medicinal or recreational marijuana use, though some dispensaries offer better discounts for one or the other. In case you are wondering what the difference is, medical use requires a doctor-issued card for patients 18+ and lowers the cannabis tax to a state-mandated 8%. Recreational purchases are for patients 21+ and fall into the excise tax—aka sin tax—category and receive a whopping 25% charge.

Needless to say, discounts certainly help to offset the cost of taxes to make trying cannabis more accessible. Fortunately, about 75% of the dispensaries across the state offer a first-time patient deal, whereas all of the bud shops offer some sort of revolving daily deals. If you don’t see your favorite dispensary on the list, call it up and see what they can do for you.
