Arizona Medical Marijuana Legalization Poll Data

Proposition 203 is ahead by 4,421 votes out of more than 1.63 million votes counted. About 10,000 early and provisional ballots remain to be counted in Maricopa County. It looks like Arizona voters have made up their mind, in what seems to be a landslide victory, for the Legalization of Medical Marijuana in Arizona. Several years ago, Arizona voted yes to legalize medical Marijuana, but state law makers felt they knew better and somehow managed to quash it. Will they do the same to prop 203? I'm not a complete expert on what exactly happened and if I find additional info I will update this post.

PHOENIX – Arizona voters have approved a measure that will legalize medical marijuana use in the state for people with chronic or debilitating diseases. Final vote tallies showed Saturday that Proposition 203 won by a tiny margin of just 4,341 votes out of more than 1.67 million votes counted. The measure had started out losing on Election Day by about 7,200 votes, but the gap gradually narrowed in the following 10 days. "Now begins the very hard work of implementing this program in the way it was envisioned, with very high standards," said Andrew Myers, campaign manager for the Arizona Medical Marijuana Policy Project. "We really believe that we have an opportunity to set an example to the rest of the country on what a good medical marijuana program looks like." Arizona is the 15th state to approve a medical marijuana law. California was the first in 1996, and 13 other states and Washington, D.C., have since followed suit.
