Surprise officials zone medical marijuana in industrial areas
Medical marijuana
Medical marijuana zones in the East Valley
The East Valley will become home to about 14 medical marijuana dispensaries under a proposal by the Arizona Department of Health Services. The agency is preventing the shops from clustering by limiting them to one within each of what it calls a Community Health Analysis Area (designated in red).
Welcome to the discussion.

The US Government should overcome its own "denial" with respect to Medicinal Cannabis, which can serve as a safe alternative to many pharmaceutical chemicals on the market. I believe it is very positive that the President acknowledges the "validity" of this debate. Whenever the validity of the debate is recognized, such a "recognition" invariably implies that our side has a "valid argument"; this being so, it follows that our side (in favor of Cannabis/Medicinal Cannabis Legalization) has a very real possibility of winning this "perfectly legitimate debate", for otherwise it would not be a "debate". For example, to even suggest that Cannabis Plant has no medicinal properties is not even a "rational" thing to do; as a "recreational" substance, Cannabis is incomparably safer than alcohol! Few people even know that one out of five people in Britain are expected to live to 100 years old, while Cannabis consumption in Britain is the highest in Europe. Look at Canada where the Cannabis "laws" are much more "liberal" than in the United States, yet the criminality, and especially violent crime, are much lower than in this country. And if all this were not enough, it is scientifically proven that Cannabis use (as opposed to alcohol use) suppresses violent urges and behaviors. All this is true even if the President is "personally opposed" to legalization (at least for now). But we cannot sit on our butts and passively expect positive developments to occur. We must participate actively, write comments at the news articles, write to politicians, sign petitions, register to vote, etc. Let's ask our politicians why, in this time of rising deficits, they would rather talk about taxing mother's milk than about slashing the so-called "marijuana enforcement" budget! I specifically urge all the young people to talk to their parents and grandparents and educate them about Cannabis vs. alcohol and hard drugs. As the logical evidence in our favor inexorably accumulates, the "qualitative shift" will occur in our common consciousness, and we will win this "perfectly legitimate" debate!

What in the world makes Mr. Hallin think he's in control now?
Why are their people who have the Behind the Looking Glass belief that there's some sort of shortage of cannabis out here, and that the laws of the epic failure of public policy that we like to call the war on (some) drugs.
Why not engage a couple of consultants from the inside so that your rules actually make some sense? Thanks for allowing cultivation that you didn't have to. Did you make the common Know Nothing lawmakers mistake and count the number of stalks for your limits? May you be shocked and stunned when you find out what a determined grower can do with a single plant. You see, someone with experience and knowledge would have told you to limit canopy size or light wattage. 100 plants in a 10 x 10 space will yield just about the same as 1 plant will. Counting stalks is just plain silly.
