Legalization of Medical Marijuana in Arizona

 

We all know that 14 states in the United States as well as countries such as Canada, Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Finland, Israel, and Italy have legalized the use of medicinal marijuana. Just last November 2010, a law legalizing the use and possession of marijuana in Arizona solely for medical purposes have been passed making it the fifteenth state to do so. Medical Marijuana

Just like the other 14 states, patients must apply for a medical marijuana identification card. To do this he or she must be a "qualified patient" meaning that he or she should have a chronic or debilitating disease. Patients must acquire a written recommendation from a doctor, homeopaths, osteopaths, or naturopaths specializing and licensed to recommend medical marijuana treatment. This doctor should also provide a written documentation about the said recommendation, his reasons to give such, and his signature affixed. Once they have the two documents, they can apply for a card. However, not all consultations end up in medical marijuana recommendation. Quality Marijuana

However, laws covering medical marijuana in Arizona still need further amendment as there are overlapping laws regarding the legality of the drug particularly in cases of driving under the influence of marijuana. Medicinal marijuana card holders may still violate the law notwithstanding legality. This is just one of the ambivalence that law-makers in Arizona should clarify. Moreover, if you reside in Arizona and plan to drive without repercussion even with a card, you should at least hire an accident lawyer. Recreational Cannabis Store

As for medical marijuana dispensaries, they should be registered as non-profit. They must have documents that prove their legal operation. They should distribute medicinal marijuana solely to qualified patients who have a valid card as well as to their eligible primary caregivers. Acquiring, cultivating, processing, manufacturing, or delivering them for other purposes makes them answerable to the law. Recreational Marijuana
