Laws in AZ.
Arizona.While a majority of Arizona voters
have passed ballot measures enacting legislation to allow the use of medica
marijuana, the laws do not adequately protect patients nor Doctors who would
prescribe it. The legislation as it is currently enacted requires Doctors to
write a prescription for medical marijuana to their patients. Since marijuana
is still classified as a Schedule 1 drug, the FDA effectively forbids Doctors
from doing so. Subsequent ballot initiatives to correct the legislation have
thus far failed.Visit:http://potclubs.us/content/main.arizona.php
Medical
marijuana: This state has medical
marijuana laws enacted. Modern research suggests that cannabis is a
valuable aid in the treatment of a wide range of clinical applications. These
include pain relief, nausea, spasticity, glaucoma, and movement disorders.
Marijuana is also a powerful appetite stimulant and emerging research suggests
that marijuana's medicinal properties may protect the body against some types
of malignant tumors, and are neuroprotective. For more information see NORML's Medical Marijuana section.See:http://norml.org/index.cfm?wtm_view=&Group_ID=4523

SUMMARY:
Sixty-five percent of voters approved Proposition 200 on November 5, 1996,
which included several provisions regarding prison reform and one specific to
the use of medical marijuana. The law took effect on December 6, 1996. It
mandates alternative sentencing for non-violent drug offenders, and seeks to
establish legal protections for seriously ill patients by allowing doctors to
"prescribe" schedule I controlled substances such as marijuana.
However, because federal law ultimately forbids physicians from prescribing
such drugs, this statute does not adequately protect patients from state-level
criminal penalties, as do similar state laws that only require patients to
possess a physician’s "recommendation" that medical marijuana therapy
may be beneficial. Not surprisingly, the attorney general’s office reports that
state physicians are not advocating medical marijuana therapy to their patients
under the law.

including Head Shops, Hydroponics, Lighting and Cultivation Supplies,
Vaporizers, and Cannabis Seed Banks. We also have guides to the different
strains of marijuana, cannabis concentrates and extracts, how to harvest kif
and make several different kinds of hash (including cold water, or bubble hash,
ethanol extraction, isomerization techniques, butane extraction), as well as
information about the history of, usage, and pharmacology of cannabis.visit:http://www.potdoc.com/Site_Map.htm
The Arizona law, as of December, 1996,
allows physicians to prescribe any Schedule I drug (including marijuana). The
patient must be seriously ill and have a recommendation for that drug from a
second physician on file. Because the Food and Drug Administration regulates
prescriptions, doctors cannot prescribe Schedule I drugs unless allowed to do
so by the federal government.
The current impasse in Arizona law does
not permit the legal use of marijuana, even by those in medical need, despite
the will of a majority of
Arizona voters.
In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health
issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering
health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable
information, while others may have information that is unreliable or
misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in
Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting,
and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with
cannabis is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a
non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time
consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical
professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to
conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and
spending the least amount of time doing so.

Medicinal Cannabis Medical
cannabis has aided patients enduring the symtoms of AIDS, multiple sclerosis,
cancer and glaucoma, this fact can no longer be denied. Some patients claim
that the therapeutic uses of medical cannabis have even had more substantial
affects than some pharmaceutical counterparts with less or no side effects at
all.
The prognosis of therapeutic uses for medical
cannabis has been entertained in the courts in many countries for a number of
years. http://www.potlawyers.com/
