In Phoenix Arizona there has been a constant struggle between law enforcement and medical marijuana patients in confusion over a lawsuit by the governor. Arizona State Governor Jan Brewer and Attorney General Tom Horne filed a lawsuit against the passing of prop 203 in May, which allows approved patients to have and use medical marijuana. Ever since the suit was filed, there has been some confusion on the marijuana laws by Phoenix Police officers.
Some unfortunate card holders have been detained for possession of an illegal substance, even though they had their medical marijuana card. At least 6 approved patients have been arrested and detained since the lawsuit filed by Jan Brewer. Each arrest later ended their release with no charges, but left these approved patients feeling harassed.
Attorney Adam Trenk told Fox News that his office has received dozens of phone calls from patients who are confused about their rights, and what this lawsuit means for them."Incidents between clashes with law enforcement and these patients are on the rise and patients need to be aware that they should aggressively assert their rights to legally use and obtain marijuana if they are a registered card holder." he said.
