Arizona pot measure pulls ahead in vote count
Arizona pot measure pulls ahead in vote count
PHOENIX (AP) — A measure that would legalize medical marijuana in Arizona pulled ahead for the first time Friday, with both supporters and opponents saying they believed the proposal that went before voters on Election Day would pass.
Proposition 203 was ahead by 4,421 votes out of more than 1.63 million votes counted. The measure started out losing by about 7,200 votes on Nov. 2 and the gap gradually narrowed in the following 10 days.
Only about 10,000 early and provisional ballots remain to be counted in the state, and all are in Maricopa County.
If the measure passes, Arizona would be the 15th state with a medical marijuana law.

CONGRATULATIONS! You can't know how happy this made me. It actually brought tears to my eyes. After seeing all the other states with cannabis measures being shot down, this is fantastic news. I was very dismayed about it. To all those other places had cannabis related measures that got shot down this year, just try to remember, this was an off year election. A presidential election year (like 2012) is way more apt to have positive results for us. Now, if the fucking feds would act....
This is great news.
So...once set up it will be welcome to Arizona for med patients with cards.
17. "VISITING QUALIFYING PATIENT" MEANS A PERSON:
(a) WHO IS NOT A RESIDENT OF ARIZONA OR WHO HAS BEEN A RESIDENT OF ARIZONA LESS THAN THIRTY DAYS.
(b) WHO HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A DEBILITATING MEDICAL CONDITION BY A PERSON WHO IS LICENSED WITH AUTHORITY TO PRESCRIBE DRUGS TO HUMANS IN THE STATE OF THE PERSON’S RESIDENCE OR, IN THE CASE OF A PERSON WHO HAS BEEN A RESIDENT OF ARIZONA LESS THAN THIRTY DAYS, THE STATE OF THE PERSON’S FORMER RESIDENCE.

My wife and I are very happy about this, but unsure if we want to get on any list anywhere for MMJ. She has been treated for horrific migraine symptoms - pain, nausea, etc. for years - I also get terrible migraines - puking, light and sound sensitivty, etc. - but I have generally been able to control it with using some of the scary triptans and narcotics. She, however, cannot. She is reduced to being in bed for weeks at a time, because of the anti-nausea drugs, narcotics, etc.
That is, she was in bed for weeks until I started raising MMJ for both of us, a few years ago. It has helped her immensely and (from my purely self-centered viewpoint), it has given me a real lift out of my depression from being able to provide tangible relief for her really awful symptoms (mine too, but that's the self-centered part again).
So we are torn - do we try to avail ourselves of this (apparently) new legal means? Or should our worry about inviting government into our lives outweigh the legal risk of supplying our own?
In any case, the result on 213 is great news, even if it prompts some people to collectively loose their shit. I heard some complete moron on the Phx news talking about how his neighbors pot smoke stink is so nasty that it drives him indoors from his backyard. Boo-de-hoo-hoo. I have to smell cigarettes and hear Bob Seger over my neighbors wall and have yet to demand that his ear-filth must stop competeing with the birds singing...

I saw that newscast too, and I couldn't believe the audacity of that guy to want to deny actual patients who can benefit from cannabis because he didn't like the way it smelled. What a baby. If it bothers him that much, why doesn't he politely ask his neighbors if they can keep their cannabis smoking indoors.
No, instead he has to cry like a little punk bitch.

Hells yeah. Too bad Department of Health Services is going to sit on it as long as they can, so nobody will be able to even apply for licensing until April 2011-ish, according to their FAQs.
Our first day to apply was 4-20

Conngrats to Arizona! Lets hope it will be a reciprocal state - recognizing OTHER medical cannabis states' patients.
Now, we only have Harris leading Cooley by approx 18,000 votes. Go Kamala!

Visitors to AZ who are valid cardholders in their home state will be legal in AZ. You may carry up to 2.5 ounces.
As for the April 1 deadline the DHS has... put yourself in their shoes. They have just 4 months to get this shit together. It's a monumental task. Of course they're going to need the full 4 months.
Once the 120 days has passed, whether they have a system together or not, anyone with a recommendation from a qualifying physician will be able to carry the recommendation on their person and be allowed to possess and use.
