Head to Phoenix

The Arizona Medical Cannabis Farmers Market is a regular event that takes place on the 3rd Saturday of every month, so there are plenty of opportunities to schedule a visit to Phoenix.

This farmers market has quickly become a regular feature in many people’s diaries, as it is considered to be a great place for like-minded MMJ patients to socialize. You will need a valid AZ state issued MMJ card for entry into the market and some other form of ID like your driver’s license, so be prepared.

Inside the event, you will find a large selection of different items and the entry fee is $5 if you make a non-perishable food donation at the same time, or $10 without.
