[mofeta]

Jan Brewer, the Governor of the State of Arizona, has asked Will Humble, the Director of the Az Department of Health Services, to proceed with licensing dispensaries.

Gov. Brewer's statement.

Will Humble:

Our first step will be to review the rules for accepting dispensary applications. Our rules had originally stated that we’d accept dispensary applications last June. Obviously, that’s no longer possible- so we’ll need to set new application dates using the State’s rulemaking process. We’re working on those rules right now. The process is complicated by the fact that a lawsuit called Compassion v. Arizona is challenging the scope and constitutionality of our medical marijuana rules. If that lawsuit is withdrawn or settled quickly, we could begin accepting dispensary applications this Summer.

Still a little time to pump out a couple more crops before the 25 miles from a dispensary 'no grow zone' shuts us all down.
