Last Day to Add More Qualifying Conditions to Medical Marijuana Program

The newest round of petition applications will be accepted from July 24, 2013 – July 31, 2013.

The Arizona Medical Marijuana Act requires the Arizona Department of Health Services to periodically accept petitions to permanently add new medical conditions to the list of conditions that qualify for a medical marijuana card.

In January 2012, the Arizona Department of Health Services received petitions to add PTSD 1, PTSD 2, depression, migraines, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder to the list of qualifying medical conditions. The petitions were ultimately rejected because of the lack of published data regarding the risks and benefits of using Cannabis to treat or provide relief for the petitioned conditions.

The 2013 petitions will be reviewed and a final decision will be made by the Arizona Department of Health Services in December 2013.
