Medical Marijuana Debate – Arizona Public Media
Voters in Arizona are hearing very different arguments about marijuana and its benefits or dangers, and they’ll be able to make their own decision on Tuesday November 2nd.
Proposition 203, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act is supported by people who say, among other things, that marijuana helps relieve pain and anxiety from debilitating diseases, that patients should not risk arrest for trying to alleviate their pain, and that marijuana has already been legalized in some fashion in 14 other states.
However, opponents believe that marijuana is harmful, that there are alternatives patients can use, and that it can lead to more users who may then move on to stronger and dangerous drugs.

Journey Healing Centers Votes No on Medical Marijuana Abuse and Addiction
Journey Healing Centers (http://journeyrecoverycenters.com) will vote No on Prop 203 (Arizona medical marijuana) and Prop 19 (California marijuana legalization for anyone 21+) this November due to concerns over increased addiction, health risks, and extensive abuse seen in the 14 states with medical marijuana. Prop 203 advocates are downplaying the health issues smoking marijuana can cause similar to the way big tobacco has tried to cover up health issues from cigarettes for years. It is also misleading that the Medical Marijuana Project (who wrote Prop 203) states on their website that their primary goal is to legalize marijuana similar to alcohol, which invites abuse and addiction.
Journey Healing Centers (AZ and UT drug and alcohol treatment centers) urges voters to Vote No on Prop 203 (Arizona) and Prop 19 (California) to reduce marijuana abuse, health risks and family heartache when dealing with a loved one fighting addictions…
