Medical Marijuana Update

As you may aware, in November 2010, voters passed the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act. The citizen initiative (Proposition 203) called on the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) to create a medical marijuana program.

Qualifying patients can start applying for identification cards and ADHS will accept initial dispensary applications beginning in June 2011. Electronic applications for a medical marijuana card are only available through the Arizona Department of Health Services at http://www.azdhs.gov/prop203/patients/index.htm. No applications will be accepted in person or by phone, nor are they available through local health departments.

Thank you.
