Medical Marijuana Cards are Not Valid in Arizona

Even though you may be approved to use medical marijuana in your home state, it is a Felony to posses a usable amount of Marijuana in Arizona. For a first time offender with a small amount you will not be jailed, but you may be placed on probation, forced to drug test and to attend drug abuse classes. Hence the saying "Came on Vacation, Left on Probation".
If you possess over two pounds or have the marijuana divided up into separate baggies and have a scale or other paraphernalia that indicate that the marijuana may be for sale you could be sent to prison for possessing or transporting marijuana for sale. The laws in Arizona are very strict and the highway patrol are looking for cars with out of state plates to stop and search with their drug dogs. If you are stopped and arrested or cited you need a good Arizona Drug Lawyer to help you through the process.
