Medical pot proposal forces patients to pay for drug prevention

Howie puts the spotlight on not one, but two, AZ State Legislators - one is David Farnsworth from here in Mesa.

What's the story??? There's a HUGE SURPUS: $23.7M

Howie goes on to say:

"There’s plenty of money to spend: At last count the health department had amassed more than $40 million.

And that situation is likely to continue.

Figures obtained by Capitol Media Services show the state collected $24.9 million in fees last year from patients, caregivers, dispensaries and growers. Expenses during that same period to run the program were $11.2 million.

That annual surplus — and the ever-increasing bank account — exist solely because the $150 annual fee set by the health department after voters first approved medical marijuana in 2010 is bringing in far more than needed to administer the program . . . "

Amazing, huh???

Does that blow your mind or what?

Don't Freak-Out whatever U do > > >

Cases: SB1061 (Farnsworth) and HB2066 (Leach)

If either or both measures become law, that would undermine that lawsuit because it would cut into and possibly eliminate the surplus that the litigation hopes to have refunded to patients in the form of lower fees.
