MMJ was voted and passed in AZ two times before. In 1996 and 1998 it was overturned by legislators and lawyers who think they know better than voters. They forget who they work for. It's expected to win and this time it's expected to stick.

Marijuana-related ballot measures voted on previously by Arizonans include:

Proposition 200 in 1996: Allowed doctors to prescribe drugs to seriously and terminally ill patients. The measure's significant provisions were later repealed by the Arizona Legislature.

Proposition 300 and Proposition 301 in 1998: The repeals by the Legislature were overturned in yet another citizen vote, but wording of the measure required a written prescription, allowing the United States Drug Enforcement Administration to threaten to revoke prescription-writing priveleges of doctors who wrote medical marijuana prescriptions.

Proposition 203 in 2002: An initiative failed that would have allowed a written recommendation by a doctor sufficient enough to obtain medical marijuana.


The measure is expected to pass by a "land slide" margin:

A Rocky Mountain poll released last week had Prop 203 passing with 54% among registered voters and 52% among likely voters. By comparison, Sen. John McCain in a runaway race has support at 49%, according to the poll.

The poll showed strong support among voters under 55 and a near even split among older voters, with 41% supporting and 43% opposed. Two-thirds of Democrats support the measure, as do 57% of independents. Republicans are divided, with 48% opposing, but 40% supporting.

BTW Mimbres Valley, beign neighbors you should know about our vote. That would be like us not knowing about Heisenburg and his blue product! Say hey to Saul for me too.
