To Our Members:
Exhale Society was opened in January 2024 to provide the Arizona cannabis community with a safe and welcoming space. We are incredibly grateful to all of you, our Members, for your support, time, and trust over the past nine months. Unfortunately, Exhale Society is closed for the foreseeable future due to reasons outside of our control.
It is incredibly disappointing and upsetting that the City of Tempe has incorrectly labelled us, Exhale Society, as a Tobacco Retailer.
Exhale Society has NEVER sold tobacco or allowed tobacco smoking indoors and never will.
The incorrect Tobacco Retail classification of Exhale Society places us under the purview of separation requirements from a school. Per the separation requirements for Tobacco Retail, Exhale Society is too close to a school. It has been made clear that the City of Tempe does not want to give us a variance on the separation requirements. We are also receiving citations for being a tobacco retailer within a quarter mile from a school.
Since our first citation in mid-February 2024, we have exhausted all formal and informal methods to help the City of Tempe understand that we do NOT sell tobacco and do NOT allow for the consumption of tobacco.
We hope to be able work through this with the City of Tempe via Rose Law Group (our legal representation), as all previous attempts in communicating our situation with the City of Tempe has failed.
Our goal has always been to establish a Private Members’ Club that is cannabis friendly. We will continue to make every effort possible to operate legally and within the rules and regulations of the City of Tempe and the State of Arizona.
The citations we have received have never put our Members in any danger. All citations given to Exhale Society are Municipal Code violations, NOT Criminal violations. These citations never posed any risk to Members.
