1. Patient resubmission form for Prop 203 is broken.

   There is no way to upload corrected physician attestation form in a Prop 203 resubmission attempt. The patient is directed to change only corrected information. There is no prompt to allow for new upload of information. Only given ten days to resubmit: please help!

2. Patient resubmission form for Prop 203 is NOT broken!

   My lack of understanding pertaining to the resubmission process seems to have been the problem. "My bad," seems an appropriate comment. Thanks for your patience.

3. medical marijuna is legal -make is excessibal and affordabale for those who need it now

   I am a 50 year old mother of 5 and Grand mother of 3 and have been suffering with sever spinal pain,migrains anxiety and insomnia due to a childhood disease called equine encephilitis, that I was lucky enough to survive, when so many others have died from it. For 30 years now I have been to, too many doctors to count and just as many drugs and continue to take those drugs just to function in my daily life.I am looking to relieve my condition with a natural medication that will not cause side effects that ultimately will kill me in the end like the pills that I am taking right now.
   Medical Marijuana will help me and so many people with so many different illnesses,it is rediculous not to allow it to be legally grown and distributed to the people who have gone to great lengths and expence to get that medical card saying they can use it to treat their medical conditions and; for what, so they can be told "guess what, you just went through all that for nothing,because, you can not legally accuire your meds because the federal goverment and the state is going to make it impossible for you to get treatment like any other medical drug and quit making it impossible for people who benefit from using it.
   You can do it just like you do with morphine or any other drug. Some one grows it,and drug stores sell it to patients and at a REASONAL cost and patients can use there medication as directed, everyone will be happy.
   Right now,many people have found that marijuana helps there conditons and are forced to buy what ever is on the street, not knowing if what they are getting is any good or even poisioned by illegal growers in foriegn contries ,and by doing so, making themselves into criminals.
   If the goverment would just listen to us and do what the people want instead of doing what big businesses and who ever else that has something to lose buy making this legal , there will be great benefits for the whole state,even the whole USA. legalizing medical marijuana could provide an Income to pay state and US debts, better educations for our kids, badly needed jods for americans and more than I can list.
   In addition this will Take the power away from drug lords and corner drug peddlers and make it the medicine that it is!
   Make it legal for the growers to grow now! Make it legal for patients to use it.
   Make it legal for drug stores to sell it.
   Make our suffering go away with a natural drug instead of all of these narcotics that over time will rot your internal organs.
   If the goverment was really the voice for the people we would not be having this problem. I would even venture to say that if there were a country wide vote for the "total legalization" of medical marijunna in the USA, it would be overwhelmingly YES!
   In one fell swoop we could cut off the drug lords in foriegn contries and stop most illegal smuggling of marijunna and the war on drugs can be a war on real drugs,herion,cocaine,meth,ect.
   Thank you
   Denise

   ADHS did not set the 25 mile rule. It was in the initiative passed by the voters and made law. You can find it 36-2804.02. Registration of qualifying patients and designated caregivers. We will enforce that part of the law once dispensaries are in operation, unless there is a change in the statute.

10. Bring Back Bi-Weekly Application Reports!

    I'd like to see the bi-weekly reporting return. The more data points the better. Also, it would be great to have raw data available rather than just PDF print-outs. It's a pain to enter data that I know has already been entered into a database already.

    The law passed by voters does not give ADHS the authority to connect qualifying patients with designated caregivers. You might want to try talking to the doctor who wrote your certification or looking in the newspaper.

    ADHS set the prices as low as possible when we began the program. As things settle, we may evaluate to see if we can change the price of patient cards. The qualifying patient cards are half-price for those on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP – formerly called Food Stamps).

    When ADHS began issuing the registry identification cards for qualifying patients and designated caregivers, we set a price to cover all the expenses. Because of public comment, we did establish a discount for people who received SNAP. When the program reaches a point where it costs less to produce the cards, we will consider lowering the cost for qualifying patients.

    When applicants for dispensary licenses apply, they will need to provide a business plan. Many times insurance is part of that plan to protect the investment.

15. Please make a way online to cancel your card and be removed from the registry.

    I have a MM card and have never used it. My health has improved and I no longer want to be on the register. Why is there no way to cancel it online?

    It is handled by the patient – see the process below:
    If you are an existing qualifying patient, you can add a caregiver only if you did not previously have a caregiver apply online officially as your designated caregiver.
    If you had a caregiver and want to replace them, you would “replace caregiver”. To add or replace your current designated caregiver, go to the change application on the ADHS medical marijuana website at: https://medicalmarijuana.azdhs.gov/ChangeApplicationSearch.aspx

    In order to make the change, you must enter in your card number and first and last name exactly as it appears on your card. It is important to note that ONLY the qualifying patient can make this change. The designated caregiver always follows the lead and wishes of the associated patient.

    Once you have successfully added or replaced the caregiver, you should let the newly designated caregiver know he must still come back onto the ADHS online application system to apply. Just typing in the “to be added caregiver” in the change application does not officially connect the qualifying patient and caregiver. It is also important to note that the qualifying patient’s change application must be approved prior to the designated caregiver attempt to apply.

    If you have questions or need assistance, please notify us at m2programsupport@azdhs.gov

18. the qualified patient registration

    azdhs would better serve its customer base by excepting both online and mail-in application. for the price we pay it's the least you can do. the process if far more complicated than it needs to be. many of the mistakes made should be rectified immediately. paper work is messy but less mistakes are made doing things the old fashion way.

19. You should post when there are technical issues with this site

    You should clearly post when there are technical issues present on this site. I was sent the link to do my application and pay. I continued to get an error message. So I came directly to your site thinking maybe I had been taken for my money...lol But NO the link from your site also gives you the exact same error message when you try to access the patient application. There are sites that tell you that they know that their site is down and approx how long before it will be back up and working. I think that would be a time saver for everyone because I'm pretty sure that there are quite a few doctors, clinics, etc getting calls right about now when it actually has nothing to do with them.
    Thanks for listening.
