MITA quickly assembled an expert legal team to help potential cannabis entrepreneurs understand the laws and qualifications AZDHS will require from applicants of the 26 social equity licenses to give them time to prepare when the program opens this December. Legal experts include:

● Janet Jackim, Zuber Lawler Law Firm
