If voters approve a ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana for adults, a new state agency will be created to regulate the substance.
The Department of Marijuana Licenses and Control would be tasked with setting up rules and regulations for the nascent retail marijuana industry. The department would also take over regulating medical marijuana, as the ballot measure transfers authority for medical pot from the Arizona Department of Health Services to the new agency.
