Medical Marijuana in Arizona

In the USA there are 13 states which allow the prescribing and distributing of medical marijuana.  One of those states is Arizona. 

Once you get your prescription for the substance,  you then have to find a licensed dealer in the state.

I was curious as to who licenses the dealers.  Turns out it is the State Dept of REVENUE.  Ah yes,  that would make sense.  Not the State Dept of Health,  not the State Dept of Drug Regulators,  but the State Dept of REVENUE.  Well ,  I guess it’s tough times everywhere even in the state coffers. 

You can get medical marijuana if you have a terminal or chronic disease,  like CANCER,  AIDS,  or ALZHEIMERS.  Or if you have chronic pain issues.  Yes, let’s pump the money into legally dealing drugs to mitigate pain issues and dull the mind because that’s a LOT easier than actually finding or distributing effective therapies and let’s not even mention promoting a known cure.  

Actually we could go one step further,  because there are actually known CURES for these chronic diseases,  but somehow I think that if these CURES were revealed,  it would be quite upsetting to the coffers of the  medical industry of disease.  The medical/disease industry in mainstream society lives off the money earned by mitigating or masking symptoms.  If CURES were to be revealed and promoted, well there goes the industry.  Right? 

What an upside down world this can be .
