Prop 203: Arizona Proposition for the legalization of medical marijuana PASSES. This is contrary to initial reports that the measure FAILED, as after absentee and military ballots were counted, it was revealed that there was a very slim margin of people IN FAVOR of the measure. Now, citizens of Arizona will be able to purchase up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana for personal use every two weeks, and will be able to grow their own marijuana for medicinal purposes if they live more than 25 miles away from a dispensary.
The dispensaries are somewhat limited. Only 1 dispensary per 10 pharmacies is allowed. This will help the state regulate the measure, and will help ensure that illicit sales are kept to a minimum.
Now, there are many people in Arizona who can rest assured, knowing that Proposition 203 is available to them. They will be able to get the medication they need to make their lives more comfortable.
Despite that, medical marijuana use is only okayed in 15 states, Arizona included. Widespread measures to pass marijuana legalization across the state of California failed. This remains a controversial issue, and one we believe will become the end of 'prohibition' in our lifetime.
What are your thoughts on Prop 203?
Fail Arizona, FAIL!!
ReplyDeleteIt's about time!!! Now patients can finaly get the medication they need. Who are we as people to tell patients, what they need or don't need. It is also the responsibilty of our patients to keep it out of the reach of children. Just like other more harmfull and deadly drugs that can be perscribed. Back on the road to true freedom. God bless America.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Arizona. Way to set a good example for the other states. The good people of Alabama still get slammed for stems and seeds. It's a tragedy I'm glad to see you won't be suffering any longer.
ReplyDeletethe guy on the top of this is a lame ass probably all sorts of right wing.
ReplyDeleteFinally...... We got our medical bill!
ReplyDeleteWe've been waiting a long time for this to happen out here......
Do you realize that there are other methods of treatment, than just marijuana? Now the medical patients who are suffering can add lung problems from smoking the dope to the list. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteI'm a good citizen. I follow the letter of the law. For too long I've been denyed that which I require.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I don't see why it's not legal completely, because after all it's not even bad for you.
ReplyDeleteYou dont just smoke pot you dummy do your homework before you try to talk shit, you just end up looking dumb...
ReplyDeleteHow bout this...your homework for tonight...find out the different ways "dope" is used, besides smoking it for medicinal purposes...
i think this is a good idea i dont haft to suffer from the pain of metal rods and pins in my legs due to a car accident 3 years ago any more i dont know why it didnt get legalized sooner if you ask me
ReplyDeleteMe too, got metal pins and plates in writs, plastic screws in shoulder, artificial ligaments in that shoulder, busted back and neck, etc. Best medicine, been a patient in CA for 8 years, allowed me to grow in my job and pursue a happy life due to less pain and muscle cramps.
ReplyDeleteCannabis is a "miracle crop"...marijuana is among the most versatile of medicines; hemp is the winning lottery ticket.

I'm proud prop 203 passed. To the guy that said the sick people would cause lung problems??? Are you an ass? How much pollution do we breathe in on a daily basis? At least Marijuana is natural and you won't hear on a commercial that it causes Ulcers, Heart Attacks, Colitis, Migraines or Sudden Death like all the way expensive medicine that causes Americas Economic Crisis. Get your head out of your ass and celebrate an affordable treatment that can cause a lot of ease in our lives
ReplyDeletethis is all well and good, but the biggest problem will still remain: if you don't have a medical card, it will still be a felony if you're caught with even a seed, stem, or flake of marijuana. a FELONY for possessing the smallest amount of a plant that, when smoked, is way less harmful to your body than legal cigarettes. arizona is still a backwards-ass police state and i'm glad i left.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you left too. whew only a few more to get rid of...
ReplyDeleteI love you Arizona for standing up and doing what is right for all not just a few.
ReplyDelete203 is a start in the right direction. I do Believe it's is A baby step in shutting down the smuggling across the boarder. Hopefully this prop will aid in the victory of the war on illegal drugs. In my opinion prop 203 will also steer marijuana away from its gate way drug reputation. Finely now citizens who really need Marijuana will not be subjected to buying from an illegal pusher selling harmful illegal drugs that hurt the body. Prop 203 is a god send for people who really need the medication. It should set the pace to end the war on drugs
ReplyDelete"Do you realize that there are other methods of treatment, than just marijuana? Now the medical patients who are suffering can add lung problems from smoking the dope to the list. Congrats."
ReplyDeleteDo YOU realize you can cook with it for the same dosage? lol. noob.
Pros: People suffering from terminal illnesses will be happy, hungry, sleepy and peaceful. By legalizing medicinal it also directly takes money out of criminals wallets and puts it towards our schools, roads and parks. ALSO creates an ENTIRE industry out of nothing.
ReplyDeleteCons: The critics. XD
I think it is great that prop 203 passed!! I am an RN and I see alot of patients who will benefit a great deal because of this bill! Way to go AZ.
ReplyDeletecould one get a medical marijuana licence for phyciatric disorders?
ReplyDeleteAbout time, now maybe and hopefully I can cut back or get off the Opiates.
