Arizona Medical Marijuana Initiative also known as Proposition 203, or I-04-2010,

The Arizona Medical Marijuana Initiative, will appear on the November 2, 2010 ballot in the state of Arizona as an initiated state statute. Sponsors of the proposed initiative submitted their qualifying signatures to election officials in the state in April and on June 1, 2010, the Arizona Secretary of State qualified the measure. It was verified that the effort had collected enough signatures for ballot access. The Arizona Medical Marijuana Policy Project is the main sponsor of the measure. If the measure is enacted, Arizona will become the 15th state to legalize the use of medical marijuana.
If approved, the proposition will allow residents in the state with specific medical conditions to be treated with certain amounts of marijuana for personal use. According to the provisions of the initiative, the Arizona Department of Health Services would be put in charge of regulating the sale and use of medical marijuana. The measure would also allow qualifying patients and caregivers to purchase the drug from specific, closely watched clinics. Patients would also be protected from arrest and prosecution for using the plant for medicinal purposes.
Employers would also not be allowed to discriminate in hiring employees, as well as terminating employment against registered cardholders. However, workers would not be allowed to be on the medicine while on the job.
