The Arizona Senate committee has officially approved a bill which allows law enforcement to legally destroy medical marijuana seized during investigations.

The bill was created in order to clarify and protect law enforcement officers from getting caught between federal and state laws regarding marijuana. Senator Kimberly Yee and a few others are trying to pass multiple bills related to the medical marijuana industry.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is fighting again the destruction of seized medical marijuana because the state constitution bars legislators from messing with voter-approved laws like the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (AMMA).
