Consumers are allowed 1 ounce or equivalent. Of the 1-ounce total limit, no more than 5 grams may be in the form of concentrate. All items except flower and pre-rolls are considered concentrated. (Technically, the statutes do not define the time period in which a customer may purchase their 1 ounce.)
Arizona allows patients to purchase under separate purchase limits. Meaning, if a patient has reached their medical limit, they are also allowed to purchase up to the maximum adult-use limit.

Purchase limits are calculated off of the ‘Total Flower Weight’ field on the Product card. This field is filled out using different figures depending on the product category.
Flower: grams of flower in product
Pre-roll: grams of flower in product
Cartridge: grams of extract in product
Extract: grams of extract in product
Edible: milligrams of THC in product, expressed in grams (Example: 250 mg of THC = 0.25 g Total Flower Weight)
Beverage: milligrams of THC in product, expressed in grams
Topical: milligrams of THC in product, expressed in grams
Tincture: milligrams of THC in product, expressed in grams
Pill: milligrams of THC in product, expressed in grams
