The intricacies of marijuana laws since the passage of Amendment 64 still have to be worked out. Right now, you cannot buy from dispensaries for recreational use - only for medical purposes with the corresponding red card, which you cannot get as an out-of-state resident. Currently, there are no retailers authorized to sell it for recreational use. It can legally be grown, and it can be gifted.

Do you have rights in the state of Arizona if you have a medical marijuana card?
The way the law states right now, you can legally have medical marijuana in Arizona as long as you have a prescription from a doctor. But, under federal law it's illegal for a doctor to prescribe marijuana. So you're kind of covered, kinda not. The best solution is to talk to your local government and get them to change the wording in the law from "prescribe" to "recommend" like we have here in California.

How is money affected when using marijuana?
Well, marijuana costs money and is addicting, so you need to have it. You spend lots of money on marijuana. So, marijuana affects money by using it up... I guess... As this person has stated, yes, obtaining marijuana does cost money, but there are other factors involved. First off, I have seen NOTHING to suggest marijuana posses addictive properties like those of cocaine of heroine, so don't think you get hooked and POOF your whole life savings is gone, now that that's cleared out of the way here are some other ways your wallet is affected by marijuana. First, buying it/obtaining it obviously, it costs money, how much depends on the amount you would be purchasing. Second, is food. Marijuana is an appetite stimulant, AKA "the munchies" so be prepared to drop money on fast food the next time you decide to use. Third, paraphernalia. Devices from which to smoke range from cigarette rolling paper, to large and ornate glass bongs ranging into the hundreds of dollars. Finally, legality issues. Whether you are purchasing a medical card, (if you live in a state where it is legal to smoke for medical purposes) or paying a ticket for possession, OR paying bail if you live in a state with strict laws if you're really unlucky.
