Welcome!

IMPORTANT!

There will be no turn-in on Saturday, July 4, because of the holiday.

Also, we have a new permanent location for our turn-in in Tempe. The new location for our Monday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. turn-in is:

Bunna Coffee
NW corner of Rural and Elliot (7520 S. Rural Road #A12)
Tempe, AZ 85283

We are planning on making Bunna our permanent home for the rest of the signature drive. Thanks for your patience with the changes!

Sorry for any confusion this change may cause. Feel free to e-mail Andrew at amyers@stoparrestingpatients.org if you have any questions.

The Arizona Medical Marijuana Policy Project (AMMPP) is a grassroots organization devoted to passing a medical marijuana initiative in Arizona in November 2010. Currently, seriously ill people who use marijuana on the advice of their doctor to treat illnesses such as cancer, AIDS, and multiple sclerosis are subject to arrest and imprisonment, simply for trying to stimulate their appetite or alleviate their pain.

We can change this. On November 2, 2010, Arizona voters could have a chance to vote to protect Arizona’s medical marijuana patients from arrest and jail. But voters will not have that chance unless we collect more than 150,000 valid signatures to get the initiative on the ballot.

Our signature drive is now underway! Please volunteer, sign up to collect signatures, or donate today.

We currently have two standing petition turn-in locations where you can get trained and pick up petitions to circulate.  You can stop by any time during the following hours.  Please set aside an hour to get trained and complete the necessary paperwork.

The current turn-in locations are:

PHOENIX
Fair Trade Café
Corner of Roosevelt and Central (1020 N. 1st Ave.)
Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

TEMPE
Bunna Coffee

Arizonans Support Medical Marijuana

65% of Arizona voters support removing criminal penalties for the medical use of marijuana, according to a February 2009 poll. And voters have already passed medical marijuana initiatives twice in the state, in 1996 and 1998. Unfortunately, due to a technical error in the wording of these laws, they have failed to effectively protect medical marijuana patients from arrest. The initiative that will go before voters in 2010 will close this loophole and give patients the protection and peace of mind that Arizonans agree they deserve.
