Jon Udell with the Arizona chapter of the National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws says the lines are an issue that will get better over time, but he blames the current long wait times on ordinances that restrict the size of a dispensary’s footprint.

“They limit the size a dispensary can be, and they really exacerbate the problems that patients are facing with lines,” Udell said.
