Prop 203: Arizona Proposition 203 Medical Marijuana Passes

Prop 203: Arizona Proposition 203 Medical Marijuana Passes. Prop 203 showcased once again that every vote counts. Arizona became the 15th state to legalize medical marijuana, even in the midst of California voters rejecting Prop 19, or the legalization of pot throughout the state, altogether.

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.

In addition, there can be 1 dispensary for every 10 pharmacies, ensuring that illicit sales of marijuana are minimized.

In order to get a "presciption" for the drug, someone must have a debilitating disease and get a note from a doctor. Although Prop 203 legalizes medical marijuana in Arizona, pot remains illegal at the federal level.

[203] Arizona Prop 203 Results [UPDATE]

Arizona's Prop 203 failed, making it yet another marijuana based measure to fail. Jan Brewer, the governor and governor elect of Arizona was against the measure. She won by a landslide, yet the vote failed by just over 6,500 votes.

Every vote counts, people - and this is why!

Passing medical marijuana laws in Arizona would be able to clear up a little bit of the war on drugs in the state which borders Mexico. It would add to the economy, and keep money in the US rather than sending it across the border.

However, it didn't count, and chances are there were a lot of people who wanted it to pass but didn't make it out to vote.

However, Prop 203 failed. Bummer. Another one bites the dust...at least in 2010.
