Link to AZ's Medical Marijuana Law

1. Arizona Ballot Proposition 200 -- Approved by 65% of voters on Nov. 5, 1996
Effective: Dec. 6, 1996 [Not Active]
Measure changed sentencing for drug offenders, requiring those who commit violent crimes to serve full sentences without parole, and diverting non-violent drug offenders into treatment. Prop 200 also permitted doctors to prescribe schedule I controlled substances, including marijuana, to treat a disease or to relieve pain and suffering in seriously ill and terminally ill patients. Under federal law, however, marijuana is considered an illegal drug and physicians are prohibited from writing prescriptions for illegal drugs. The use of the word "prescribe" instead of "recommend" is the reason that Prop 200 is not considered to make medical marijuana legal in Arizona.

Not Amended: House Bill 2518, which was signed by the governor on Apr. 21, 1997, sought to repeal Proposition 200â??s medical marijuana provision by requiring the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to first approve marijuana before allowing state physicians to prescribe it. The bill was placed on the Nov. 3, 1998 ballot as a referendum, where voters rejected it by a vote of 57% to 43%.

Great line, how long will we the people put up with politicians telling scientists and doctors what they can and cannot research and what types of treatments they are allowed to use? It is the height of arrogancy bordering on a Hitleresque/Preston Bush type of fascist society. Just google'Bush Nazi" and see what you find, to those who don't know you will be shocked. Legalize marijuana and Industrial Hemp now to give relief to the suffering and boost the economy from an incredible variety of products from the Industrial Hemp plant such as 1) Food 2) Fuel 3) Fiber 4) Clothing and of course 5) Medicine. Peace...:420thought:
