Know where to go in Scottsdale.

The local's guide to stoner life in Scottsdale. Where to sesh, where to eat late, and how to do Old Town, the desert and the resorts your way.

First time here?

Stoner Scottsdale is a local's guide to doing Scottsdale your way: where to eat when the munchies hit after Old Town, which theaters are worth it, what to see between the resort pool and the desert, and how the law actually works.

Short version: Arizona is fully legal for adults 21 and up, visitors included. Reup with your favorite flower or concentrate and you're set. The catch is where you smoke it, because public use is out and most resorts and rentals ban smoking. The full story lives on where to smoke in Scottsdale, and the plain-English rules are on first time in Scottsdale.

After that it's all about the city. Start with a neighborhood, find something to see or watch, and finish with something good to eat.

The Real Deal

Arizona is fully legal for adults 21 and up, but not in public, Arizona doesn't license lounges, and most resorts ban smoking. Private property is home base. Here's how it actually works in Scottsdale.

Is Weed Legal in Scottsdale?
