Last night I went on a tour of a local medical marijuana grow warehouse. It was an event through BeAZ<\/a>, a new movement emerging in the Valley.I listened to the owner share his story about being a very conservative anti-marijuana man until his very small daughter fell ill to a rare seizure disorder that set his path on to becoming one of the largest growers of MMJ in our state. I also heard from a gentlemen who helped shape our exisiting state MMJ laws and is on the forefront of adult usage on the ballots locally for 2016.Marijuana is safer than alcohol + prescription medications \u2014 There is more than enough research on the positive medicinal, economical, and civic impacts that deregulation of marijuana offers that it is criminal we continue to punish responsible adult usage. I look forward to when we have less prison overcrowding, less minorities being disproportionately persecuted for possession, and less organized crime in our communities.It was great to see a behind the scenes look at how medicine like mine is made and I am grateful to the fabulous team at BeAZ + Cultivator, owner and Arizona Dispensary Association President JP Holyoak who provided his experience and expertise in the business and law of MMJ in AZ.<\/header>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
