Yeah, but you left out...

"14. REGISTRY IDENTIFICATION CARD MEANS A DOCUMENT ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT THAT IDENTIFIES A PERSON AS A REGISTERED QUALIFYING PATIENT, REGISTERED DESIGNATED CAREGIVER OR A REGISTERED NONPROFIT MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARY AGENT."

That verbiage along with other sections within 203 makes it apparent that the qualifying patient must also be registered with the State of Arizona and have a valid registration card issued through DHS. In fact, DHS can even revoke or decline the issuance of these cards for various reasons.

Keep in mind I don't claim to be an authority on the provisions of this legislation and it could be that I'm interpreting it wrong; but it doesn't appear that the registration provisions Arizona is setting up are voluntary like the county cards are in California.

Friggen can of worms. But I do hope YOU are right and I am wrong, for Arizonanâ??s sake.
