AZDHS
Target: Nov 2026Arizona DHS-aware dispensary platform
Built for the Arizona dual-use operator who’s lost money to a POS that flattened the medical/adult-use MET split. AZDHS rules native — and since Arizona mandates no specific seed-to-sale system, your POS has to BE the defensible record: acquire, dispense, transfer, disposal, audit. Plus 16% MET and 5.6% state TPT + city/county stack near ~25%. The MET exemption turns on the seller’s licence class, not the card — keying it off the card under-collects every patient sale. We charge it right.
Regulator
Arizona Department of Health Services (AZDHS)
https://www.azdhs.gov/licensing/marijuana ↗Your rules, handled
Arizona’s cannabis retail rules — what the AZDHS requires at the counter, how sales are reported to the state, and what the taxes are — are researched from the regulator’s own pages and coded into the register. You run the shop; the rules are handled at the sale.
At the register, as of September 2026: the 16% excise on adult-use sales, plus 5.6% state transaction privilege tax and your city and county add-ons, all computed on the pre-excise price; medical sales by a dual licensee are outside the 16%.
Coverage here — honestly
Arizona coverage is written against AZDHS rules: the bulletins, the medical-vs-adult-use MET split, the dual-license vertical-integration topology, and the city/county TPT stack. Arizona mandates no specific seed-to-sale system (AZDHS confirmed that to us directly), so the POS itself has to be the defensible record — and we tell you plainly which parts of that are built and which are still in build.

Arizona cannabis retail — common questions
- Who regulates cannabis retail in Arizona?
- Arizona Department of Health Services (AZDHS) is the state cannabis regulator for Arizona. Official site: https://www.azdhs.gov/licensing/marijuana.
- What seed-to-sale track-and-trace system does Arizona use?
- Arizona does not mandate a specific seed-to-sale vendor system — but licensees must still be able to track acquire, dispense, transfer, dispose, and audit. In a no-mandate state the POS itself is the defensible system-of-record; CannAgent’s chain-of-custody event model and inspector-shaped export for that role are in build.
- What cannabis taxes apply to retail in Arizona?
- At the register, as of September 2026: the 16% excise on adult-use sales, plus 5.6% state transaction privilege tax and your city and county add-ons, all computed on the pre-excise price; medical sales by a dual licensee are outside the 16%.
- Is CannAgent available for Arizona dispensaries?
