Arizona Medical Marijuana Act
December 28, 2010In November, Arizona voters passed Proposition 203, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, which will allow qualifying patients with certain debilitating medical conditions, including but not limited to, cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, ALS, Crohn’s, Alzheimer’s, and severe and chronic pain, to receive up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana every two weeks from dispensaries or cultivate up to 12 marijuana plants if they live 25 miles or farther from a dispensary.
Additionally, the law provides that employers cannot discriminate against patients, and a positive test for marijuana metabolites is not cause for disciplining or terminating a patient.
