How To Make Your Own 25 Mile Rule Map

[mofeta]

Today is the day that the the AZ DHS lottery for MMJ Dispensaries goes down.

Once the addresses of the potential dispensaries are released, you can find out what locations are within the infamous "25 mile rule" area in which patients are prohibited from growing their own medicine.

Here is useful tool that can be used to generate a map of the 25 mile radius from any given point on the map:

Radius Around Point

Just follow the instructions on the page.

Here is a screen shot of an example. I chose 25mi radius, heavy line, red in color with red infill shading. Then I just clicked on an address on North 4th Avenue in Tucson that might be the location of a dispensary.

You can zoom in and out of the map, of course.

A person could put all 100 of the dispensaries on the map, revealing all the areas in which patients would be able to grow if the dispensaries were up and operating.

When your map is done, you can download the info as a KML, which can then be used to make a publicly viewable Google Earth Map that anyone could look at. If I had the time I would do it, but I don't. Maybe someone here will do it.

nice info thanks mofeta

Is it 25 mile radius? I thought it was 25 mile straight line. If you put in 25 as a radius it makes it 15.53 straight line. Any one have any insight on this?

Thanks for the find Mofeta.

I don't understand your question.

The rule is that you cannot cultivate if you are less than 25 miles in a straight line from a dispensary.

If you extend a line from the location of the dispensary out 25 miles in all directions, you get a circle with a radius of 25 miles, a diameter of 50 miles centered on the dispensary, and a circumference of approximately 157 miles.



Here is a refresher on the terms used when talking about circles:

The distance across a circle through the center is called the diameter.

The distance around a circle is called the circumference.

The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of a circle to any point on the circle. If you place two radii end-to-end in a circle, you would have the same length as one diameter. Thus, the diameter of a circle is twice as long as the radius.

So, if you make a circle with a 25 mile radius centered on the dispensary location, cultivation is banned for anyone living inside the circle.

Just wanted to say to Arizona lawmakers.... You're F'ng retarded to be making laws and regs about something you don't know anything about. *sigh*

This has got to be one of the silliest and most disgusting things I've seen so far. Dispensary cannabis is generally disgusting in all but the most informed areas of the country.

This is like not being able to give your kid a bromide because there's a doctor in town, within 25 miles. Wow.

Stay Safe!

Edit: If I lived in AZ I'd move.

Mofeta- thanks for the answer I was all turned around lol. I was thrown off by inputing 25 in the km spot. Those are some big circles. Not much left open in the cities no matter how you place them.

 

[Arthritis_sucks]

Strategic if ya ask me.

 

[dank.frank]

Before it even gets started - they plot to hunt you down. Viscious dirty rotten politicians...

States have no rights - freedom and the will of the people an illusion.

No problem! Glad to help.

Not much left anywhere. Remember, each CHAA in AZ (except maybe the ones on the reservations, apparently) could have a dispensary. If you put a 25 mile radius circle on each CHAA, there isn't much left. Some of the rural CHAAs are large enough that where the dispensary is in the CHAA makes a big difference. Most of them you can assume will have the dispensary in the largest town in the CHAA.

All qualifying patients will have access to a list of the operating dispensaries and their addresses, and then a accurate map can be made. If any dispensaries actually open, that is.

in my opinion this is why i love nevadas laws soo much. no shops. its the fucking wild west. the state will tell you its a " grow your own state" or a " right to grow state" from my cold dead hands i say.

 

[Obsidian]

With a dispensary in Flag, Cottonwood, Sedona, Show Low, Heber, Payson, Phoenix, El Mirage, Mesa, Gilbert, Fountain Hills, Chandler, Apache Junction, Wickenburg, Prescott, and Tuscon plus a few other cities. That should just about cover the main urban areas. no one would be able to grow. man that's really going to piss off some growers if any dips open.

could be an enterprising real estate agent specializing in 420 grow friendly properties out in Bum Fucked Egypt beyond the 25 mile limit.

That place is hostile despite how the rules read... task force, harassment, narc programs... and they do have people pushing the line w shops and delivery services... no stacking of patients for caregivers...

 

[Hydro-Soil]

That and the quality sucks ass!

I thought Cali growers were pig-headed. Wow.


I lived in nevada for almost 20 years. I don't regret moving one bit.

Reno 911 wasn't just some funny idea someone came up with one day... I remember their 'exploits' for years before I moved away.

Sick state.

Stay Safe!

So.... in AZ you'll pretty much have to live outside a city to grow.

Wow.

Like the state telling you that you can't give yourself an enema... 'cause there's a doctor just down the street.

Ignorance is always amazing to me... especially in this day and age of "INFORMATION" being available. *sigh* The ignorance of the average law-maker is staggering.

Good luck guys!

Stay Safe!

Hi Hydro-Soil

The MMJ law we have in AZ was not created by the legislature. It was a voter initiative written by very clever operators in order to corner and control the market for themselves.

 

[paper thorn]

The law in AZ would have passed with a much bigger margin, but many pot smokers and growers voted against it because of all the restrictions. Many of us who held our nose and voted for it, did so because we knew if it failed the press would portray it as a "mandate" against MMJ and MJ in general.

went to renew my card and a fucking dispensary opened the day before and i lost my grow privilege.
sucks bigtime
