In Arizona, voters recently passed Proposition 203, which contains the legalization of medical marijuana usage. This new law’s just made Arizona the 15th state to allow the use of marijuana as a legal treatment for minor ailments or chronic diseases.

The pro-marijuana voters had a small margin by a few thousand counts.  Proposition 203 states that critical patients such as those suffering with cancer, Hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS, who need marijuana treatments, can only purchase two and half ounces of marijuana per two weeks. They also have the option to grow marijuana on their own, given that they have a proper recommendation from their doctor and they register with Arizona Department of Health Services.

Arizona Medical Marijuana Policy Project’s campaign manager, Andrew Myers said, "now begins the very hard work of implementing this program in the way it was envisioned, with very high standards. We really believe that we have an opportunity to set an example to the rest of the country on what a good medical marijuana program looks like.
