But Wait... There is more! The election results of AZ Nov 2, election have been counted and AZ Prop 203, a measure making the use of medicinal marijuana legal was passed. This historic measure will in fact make way for patients to receive Medical Marijuana cards from the AZ department of public health via a reccomendation from their doctor. That card can then be taken to one of dispensaries in the valley. Additionally card holders will be allowed, under some restriction, to grow their own plants. The process is still being worked out so find out the latest at

∙ 13y agoBallot Proposition 200 -- Approved by 65% of voters on Nov. 5, 1996
Effective: Dec. 6, 1996 [Not Active]
Measure changed sentencing for drug offenders, requiring those who commit violent crimes to serve full sentences without parole, and diverting non-violent drug offenders into treatment. Prop 200 also permitted doctors to prescribe schedule I controlled substances, including marijuana, to treat a disease or to relieve pain and suffering in seriously ill and terminally ill patients. Under federal law, however, marijuana is considered an illegal drug and physicians are prohibited from writing prescriptions for illegal drugs. The use of the word "prescribe" instead of "recommend" is the reason that Prop 200 is not considered to make medical marijuana legal in Arizona.
Not Amended: House Bill 2518, which was signed by the governor on Apr. 21, 1997, sought to repeal Proposition 200's medical marijuana provision by requiring the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to first approve marijuana before allowing state physicians to prescribe it. The bill was placed on the Nov. 3, 1998 ballot as a referendum, where voters rejected it by a vote of 57% to 43%.
