AZ Marijuana Legalization Effort Off Table for 2014

July 7, 2014

For all of those advocates hoping Arizona may join other states like Colorado in legalizing marijuana, Safer Arizona had a disappointing announcement recently. The legalization efforts will be abandoned for 2014 after signature-gathering efforts fell far short.

“It was around a third of what we were after,” said Mikel Weisser, executive director of the organization. “It’s not going to be a number that we are rallying behind, it’s a benchmark to improve from.” [Read more…]

Marijuana DUI Requires Impairment at the Time Of Driving, Court Rules

April 23, 2014

It is stunning that this ruling was necessary, but it does correct a ridiculous standard for guilt in DUI cases.

To be convicted of driving under the influence, the state must now prove they you were under the influence and impaired at the time of driving, and not just weeks before. Seems pretty obvious, doesn’t it? Yet before this decision, it was simply not the case. [Read more…]

April 16, 2014

The medical marijuana system in Arizona allows for patients of a very few medical conditions to seek authorization from their doctor and the state to be treated with cannabis from one of the state’s 71 dispensaries.

The state of Arizona has more than 43,000 registered medical marijuana users. Among those users, an estimated 3 tons of medical pot was sold from state dispensaries in 2013. This is a remarkable number, especially considering many dispensaries didn’t open their doors in the state until later in the year. With even more sales likely in 2014, the revenue from medical marijuana could provide some within the state the push needed to support legalized recreational pot, though we are still likely several years away from that.

Judge: Growing Medical Marijuana Not a “Right”, Subject to Prosecution

November 25, 2013

When medical marijuana laws first passed in Arizona, everyone who had their doctor’s approval for a medical marijuana card could grow. That was only because dispensaries had yet to be opened. But now, only those who don’t live within 25 miles of a dispensary are allowed to grow, something two men unsuccessfully contested in court. [Read more…]
