AZ Department of Health Services to Cannabis Clubs: You are Walking on Thin Ice

By On the Net, on July 15th, 2011

What follows below is the text of Arizona Department of Health Services Director Will Humble’s July 14, 2011, blog post:

“The Arizona Department of Health Services has serious concerns about the legality of so-called cannabis clubs. The information that we have regarding these ‘clubs’ suggests that they are distributing marijuana to customers in a way that is inconsistent with the provisions of the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, and the persons involved could be conducting illegal marijuana transactions. For this reason, we have referred this issue to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office for review and analysis by its civil and criminal divisions.”

I view this as a warning to medical marijuana clubs that give away or facilitate the giving of marijuana among people who are licensed Arizona medical marijuana patients. I cannot imagine the Arizona Attorney General who is suing the United States over medical marijuana is going to bless these clubs.
