It's more complicated then that in Arizona right now. Until ADHS sets up the certification process you risk arrest for felony violations.

But then, here it is a decade and a half after the passage of 215 in Kalifornia and we're still risking arrest.

Prohibs; don't ya just want to pinch their heads off? They need to be taught a little respect for the law.

Actually if you read all of 203 I think you'll find that "VISITING QUALIFYING PATIENTS" are the only folks legal in Arizona right now. At least until April when Will supposedly pulls his head out of his keister.

What cluster fuck it is over there right now.
