Last November 2010, Arizona became the 15th state in the United States that passed a law legalizing the use of medicinal marijuana. However, due to its newness, the law seems to have some imperfections to clear. Court hearings are still ongoing about its implications. While it is still ongoing, qualified patients and caregivers can already get medical marijuana Arizona in the state. The following are some of the facts:

• Qualified patients and primary caregivers are obliged to submit their thumbprint to the law enforcement agency and must sign an agreement that they will not utilize the drug other than personal use otherwise they will be held liable. Fingerprint is not required in Oregon.

• Sharing of marijuana to other qualified patients and caregivers are allowed for as long as they do not go beyond the recommended amount of 2.5 ounces.

• You can only get medical marijuana Arizona from a registered or licensed medical marijuana dispensary. There is also non-profit medicinal marijuana dispensary. No systems exist in Oregon.

• If a dispensary exists within a 25 miles radius from where you reside, then growing and cultivating personal marijuana is not allowed. Patients in Oregon are allowed to plant medicinal marijuana wherever they live.

• Possession of medical cannabis by patients on a school bus, school or any correctional facility should be avoided. Possession of medicinal marijuana in Oregon is only restricted at the correctional facilities.

• Smoking of medical marijuana in public places or in any public transportation vehicle is not allowed.

• Intoxication of medical marijuana while driving should be avoided.

• Medical marijuana dispensaries may cultivate and grow medicinal marijuana onsite or in a separate location. No dispensary system exists in Oregon but they can cultivate and grow marijuana wherever they reside.

• Giving of marijuana by the patient and caregiver to dispensaries are allowed except that it should not have any compensation value.
