Casa Grande · Pinal County, Arizona

Medical care at the crossroads, and clear home-grow rules.

An Arizona-licensed physician can certify your debilitating medical condition. Thinking about growing at home? Medical and adult-use rules are very different.

How It Works

Four steps to your Arizona card

Arizona's Medical Marijuana Program is run by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS).

See a physician

An Arizona-licensed MD, DO, naturopathic, or homeopathic physician completes ADHS's certification form.

Apply online

Submit through the ADHS portal with the certification, a signed attestation, and your Arizona ID.

Pay

$150 for the state card, or $75 with SNAP documentation.

Get your card

An electronic card, valid for two years, usually within about 10 days of a complete application.

Growing at Home

Two sets of rules, side by side

Arizona allows home cultivation under both its medical and adult-use laws — but the limits and conditions differ.

Medical card

Up to 12 plants

  • Only if you live 25 or more miles from the nearest operating dispensary
  • ADHS must authorize cultivation for your card
  • Grown in an enclosed, locked facility
  • Check eligibility with ADHS's Cultivation Boundary Check tool
Adult-use (21+)

Up to 6 plants per adult

  • No more than 12 plants per residence, however many adults live there
  • Only at your primary residence
  • No registration required
  • Grown in an enclosed, locked area
Under either set of rulesKeep plants enclosed, locked, and out of public view, and away from minors. Exceeding the limits is a crime. Because Casa Grande has its own dispensary, addresses in town fall within 25 miles; some rural Pinal County addresses may still qualify for medical cultivation.

Sources: the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act and A.R.S. § 36-2852. Confirm eligibility with ADHS. General information only, not legal advice.

Patient Stories

From Pinal County

“I live way out past Stanfield. The boundary check showed I'm far enough from a dispensary, so I applied for cultivation with my card.”

— Ray G., rural Pinal County

“In town, home grow under my card wasn't an option — but skipping the excise tax still made the card worth it.”

— Teresa L., Casa Grande

Casa Grande, Arizona

The crossroads city and Arizona's program

Between Phoenix and Tucson

Casa Grande, Pinal County's largest city, sits where I-10 meets I-8, halfway between Phoenix and Tucson. It takes its name from the nearby Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, grew up on farming, and today is home to modern manufacturing alongside the open desert of rural Pinal County. Casa Grande residents follow the same statewide rules as every patient in Arizona's Medical Marijuana Program.

The legal framework

The program operates under the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (A.R.S. § 36-2801 et seq.), approved by voters in 2010. Adult-use sales and home grow for adults 21+ followed under Proposition 207 in 2020. ADHS administers both.

What to keep in mind

Public use is prohibited, driving impaired is illegal, and cannabis remains illegal under federal law. See ADHS for current rules.

Certified, and clear on the rules at home.
