Medical Marijuana in Arizona Goes Online

Even though voters haven’t gotten the chance to decide whether or not to legalize medical marijuana, one company is already preparing to be the first dispensary to open its doors. “It’s just a jump start we’re doing,” said Allan Sobol, a spokesman for Medical Marijuana Dispensaries of AZ. The group, MMDAZ, is one of the first to file for not-for-profit status with the Arizona Corporation Commission. It’s the first step to become one of the state’s new dispensaries if Proposition 203 passes in November. Prop 203 would allow up to [Continue Reading]

Another Large Union Supports Marijuana Legalization

As of Monday, Proposition 19 has won the support of one of the state’s most powerful unions, offering the ballot measure a shot of mainstream legitimacy as well as a potential financial and organizational lift. According to officials, the decision by the executive board of the Service Employees International Union of California will be announced in the next few days. Those officials have been briefed about it but were not allowed to speak publicly before it was announced. The measure has faced strong opposition from law enforcement groups, including Sheriff [Continue Reading]

San Diego to Toughen up Dispensary Regulations

New rules being considered by the San Diego city council would cause medical marijuana dispensaries to be more tightly regulated. Part of the new regulations would determine the time and location that dispensaries can operate. Councilman Todd Gloria says this will reduce the amount of dispensaries in the city, but assures people that patients will still be able to easily get their medicine. “Because we are an extremely large city, there will still be plenty of places where these can operate. But the difference will be that they won’t be [Continue Reading]

Largest Oregon Newspaper Condemns Marijuana Initiative

The following is an article written by the Oregonian Editorial Board urging the public to vote no on Measure 74. If passed, Measure 74 would provide safe access to patients through nonprofit dispensaries, fund medical research and establish a program to assist low-income and homebound patients. It would create new jobs for Oregonians and generate millions of dollars for the state. It would appear, though, that The Oregonian just recently had an office movie party where everyone watched ‘Reefer Madness’ 3 times in a row. Here’s the article: – If [Continue Reading]

Medical Marijuana on the South Dakota Ballot Again This Fall

This fall, South Dakota voters will once again be asked if they want marijuana legalized for medicinal purposes, and those who support it like the way things are looking. Although a similar measure in 2006 failed by a slim margin, organizers behind Initiated Measure 13 say strong grass-roots support and a lack of organized opposition improve the chances of South Dakota becoming the 16th state to allow the illegal drug to be used as a treatment for multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, glaucoma and chronic pain. Vermillion Police Chief Art Mabry, head [Continue Reading]

Montana Medical Marijuana Law Reform Outlined

Montana is getting closer to reforming their medical marijuana regulations. The Children, Families, Health and Human Services Interim Committee voted 7-1 Tuesday to have a bill drafted and prepared for introduction before the 2011 Legislature convenes in January. All this is in response to the unexpected growth of medical marijuana users and businesses. A year ago, the state had fewer than 4,000 marijuana patients. Now, almost 23,000 people have a medical marijuana card. The proposed bill supported by the committee outlines these provisions: – Medical marijuana patients would have to [Continue Reading]

Lawmakers in Illinois Warming Up to Medical Marijuana

Medical marijuana is getting closer and closer to becoming a reality to the citizens of Illinois. Illinois House and Senate bills filed in 2009 – titled the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act – both call for a three-year legalization of marijuana for patients who obtain a doctor’s approval and suffer from one of a list of conditions or illnesses. The Illinois Senate bill passed 30-28 last year. And according to State Rep. Lou Lang, could be up for discussion in the Illinois House by January. Lang said [Continue Reading]

Many Colorado Cities Leave Medical Marijuana Decisions to the Voters

While several Colorado cities and towns have already banned or restricted medical-marijuana businesses, others will ask voters in November if they want pot dispensaries in their communities. It’s the type of do-or-die situation Tom Wilczynski has craved. “Up until now, we’ve kept a low profile,” said Wilczynski, the 47-year-old co-owner of Cannabis Care & Wellness Center. “But now we have an opportunity to show the community we are a legitimate business that truly helps people.” Wilczynski and the owners of 12 other dispensaries in Loveland have until Nov. 2 to [Continue Reading]

Republican Dino Rossi Slams Medical Marijuana Research

Republican Senate candidate Dino Rossi on Thursday continued his crusade against federal stimulus funding by questioning a nearly $150,000 marijuana/pain research project at WSU Vancouver. “This is one of those boondoggle projects that forces you to set aside the serious economic consequences of this so-called stimulus for a moment and just laugh at how out of touch Washington, D.C. really is,” Rossi said in a statement. “Washington state taxpayers are tired of their money going up in smoke. This bill isn’t going to stimulate anything other than sales of Cheetos.” [Continue Reading]
