The first draft of the rules that could govern medical marijuana use in Arizona are now online.
The rules are laid out in a 47 page document on the Arizona Department of Health Services Website. You can take a look at it by clicking here.
The rules cover everything from who can qualify to use medical marijuana, how dispensaries will be regulated and the role doctors need to play in the process.
Arizona health officials say they have two goals in mind. They want to make sure the rules are strict enough to stop anyone who does not have a serious medical conation from abusing the system. They also want to make sure doctors and caregivers are involved in the process.
Arizona residents will have three weeks to comment on the rules. To send your comment click on this link: AZ Department of Health Services: Proposition 203
Revised draft rules will be posted at the end of January. The final draft must be done by April 13th. That's when the state will begin reviewing applications for dispensaries and users.
