The law in Arizona is seriously flawed.

In 1996, voters passed the Drug Medicalization, Prevention and Control Act of 1996. The Act allowed medical doctors to prescribe certain controlled substances to treat diseases or to relieve the symptoms of seriously ill or terminally ill patients. Along with other provisions, the Act modified probation, sentencing and treatment laws for drug offenders. However, since prescriptions for marijuana are prohibited by the feds, this law has done nothing to make medical marijuana available.

In 2002, voters voted on Proposition 203 which would have decriminalized the possession of two ounces or less of marijuana, marijuana drug paraphernalia or two or fewer marijuana plants if the possession is for personal use only but would subject the possessor to a civil fine of $250 for a first or second offense or $750 for a third or subsequent offense within a two year period. A judge could waive the civil fine if the person completes a court approved drug education program. Proposition 203 required the Department of Public Safety to provide not more than two ounces of marijuana free of charge to each person who is qualified to use marijuana for medical purposes :thumbsup: . This proposition did not pass. As it is now, marijuana possession in Arizona is a significant issue. Not to mention we have "per se" laws when it comes to impaired driving: if you are stopped for suspected DUI, and your blood is tested and they find THC in your system, you can be convicted for DUI even if you are not impaired.
