More news regarding the issue posted on azcentral.

Some quotes from the article:
More than 1,000 people have commented on the proposed medical-marijuana rules so far, responding most heavily to a handful of areas that include the definition of doctor-patient relationships and medical directors and limitations on where dispensaries get marijuana.

Department officials identified the top 10 suggestions as of Wednesday, including:

- Amend requirements for establishing a physician-patient relationship.

- Lower the fees, mainly for patients with limited income.

- Reconsider the requirement for a medical director.
The department wants a medical director to be on-call or on-site at every dispensary to make sure patients or their caregivers document changes in their symptoms, track marijuana usage, and ensure dispensaries provide educational materials. Some people wanted to expand the position to include other medical professionals, such as pharmacists and family nurse practitioners, ADHS officials said.
Others wanted to eliminate the requirement entirely, saying it will only increase costs.

- Establish a preliminary approval process for dispensary applications.

- Amend or delete the 70-30 rule, which requires dispensaries to grow at least 70 percent their marijuana and prohibits them from acquiring from or selling to other dispensaries more than 30 percent.

Others wanted to eliminate the 25-mile limit for patients to grow their own marijuana. But the state health department can't remove the requirement because it is outlined in Proposition 203, Salow said.
