It was a great finale to the voting madness, when Prop 203 gained momentum late in the ballot counting, ultimately passing. I don't understand how there can be so much resistance to helping people that are suffering.

I am in my early 60s, cancer patient, disabled, have a hard time standing and walking around without a cane or crutches because of severe arthritis, chronic back pain and spasms, surgery on both knees, peripheral neuropathy as well a few other humdingers.

I'm looking forward to getting a MM Card here in Arizona, and my GP feels I will not have a problem obtaining one. I'm sort of disappointed that the process has taken so long to come to fruition, and at the same time, it will take at least 10 months or so, before I can get some pain relief. It certainly doesn't seem like there is any fast track to getting relief to those that need it, but rather efforts to appease those who voted against Prop 203. Lets hope someone in the DHS sets some expedited program to make this effort a reality.

I've got a question, what is the benefit of using a "Caregiver" versus going to a Dispensary and is there a financial difference in the price of medication. As I am currently on Disability, (Medical bills and Health Insurance premiums prior to getting on Medicare have nearly wiped out my retirement savings)
I'm curious as to what the costs will be for MM. The amount one can obtain is
supposedly 2.5 oz every two weeks. I've heard that MM can sell for a few hundred dollars an ounce; so my question is how will that be affordable for folks like myself, who are disabled and on a limited fixed income from Social Security. Apparently you cannot grow your own, unless you live 25 miles away from the nearest Dispensary, so I'm fairly sure that I will not live that far way and therefore be ineligible for that option.

I don't know when the AZ DHS will start issuing the MMJ cards, seems like it'll be mid 2011. I'm planning on getting the pre-registration done in the next few weeks.

Thanks for any advice.
