Arizona Department of Health Policy -VS- Arizona Medical Marijuana Laws
This is what the new Arizona Revised Statute defines as being a valid candidate, for someone, who wants to register to become a Medical Marijuana Caregiver in Arizona.
Now here's what the Arizona Department of Health released as there official rules for people to comply with in order to obtain a Qualified Caregivers license:
So, Arizona Department of Health is requiring all caregiver applications to be submitted by Qualified Patients who have already received their license to smoke marijuana, to help alleviate their pain. Which is like telling Doctors they need to already have patients and in order for them to receive their medical license, their patients need to apply for the Doctors to receive their medical license.
Normal people are not being allowed to become caregivers unless they know a Qualified Patient who needs someone to grow for them, because they live over (25) miles away from a dispensary.
Can someone please point out to me where it says that caregivers need to have a qualified patient designate them in order to become a caregiver in the Arizona Revised Statute (ARS)? The only place that talks about it is the Rules released by the Arizona Department of Health, and they claim it's in the law, but I can't find that part in the ARS that their referring to existing, shouldn't it say that exactly and clear as day? The only thing that looks like it exists is a lie to keep people like me from becoming a caregiver and making tons of money. And I know alot of people are gonna say this line, "(b) Has agreed to assist with a patient's medical use of Marijuana," infers what they are saying is law, but no, it is referring to the signed attestation that the caregiver needs to submit with their applications.
"Designated caregiver" means a person who:
(a) Is at least twenty-one years of age.
(b) Has agreed to assist with a patient's medical use of Marijuana.
(c) Has not been convicted of an excluded felony offense.
(d) Assists no more than five qualifying patients with the medical use of marijuana.
(e) May receive reimbursement for actual costs incurred in assisting a registered qualifying patient's medical use of marijuana if the registered designated caregiver is connected to the registered qualifying patient through the department's registration process. The designated caregiver may not be paid any fee or compensation for his service as a caregiver. Payment for costs under this subdivision shall not constitute an offense under title 13, chapter 34 or under title 36, chapter 27, article 4.

Now here's what the Arizona Department of Health released as there official rules for people to comply with in order to obtain a Qualified Caregivers license:
DC01: Can I apply to be a designated caregiver?
No, state law specifies that only a qualifying patient can submit an application designating an individual as the qualifying patient's designated caregiver.
DC02: How can I become a designated caregiver?
A qualifying patient must apply for a designated caregiver, and only if the designated caregiver meets specific requirements. The requirements for a designated caregiver are specified in state law and include that the individual must be at least 21 years of age, agree to assist the qualifying patient in the medical use of marijuana, and have not been convicted of an excluded felony offense. An individual may be a designated caregiver for no more than five qualifying patients. A designated caregiver does not have to be a home health aide or other professional caregiver.

The Frozen Throne of Class Warfare
When I purchased "The Frozen Throne" I knew it was a game that would eventually grow on me. I started out playing it once or twice every few days. And then, the addiction for the MMORTS grew so fast that I could not control it and eventually I was playing it everyday, sometimes (24) hours strait. Currently, I do not play the game. But, when I was playing the game I was in debt up to my ears and now that I am sober I actually have money in a bank account earned from services I offer online, and no, I'm not rich. But at-least my personal money situation is in positive status.
I grew up in 'what I thought' was at-least a middle class family, but it turns out that we were actually part of a lower income bracket. We never collected welfare because my father grossed to much money annually. $65,000+ is what he made yearly, that's before income taxes, his 401k, health insurance, and what he pays into Social-Security. When he retires though he will be making somewhere around $8,000 per month because of all the investing he did into his retirement and corporate stock that he purchases.
The gap between the rich and the poor is getting worse. My Father is a Technician for Palo-Verde Nuclear Generation Station. Which is partly owned by APS (Arizona Public Services) and a Capital Corporation called Pinnacle West. You know the type of corporation that pays their CEO over $30,000 per day for doing nothing but sitting back and being a puppet to blame if the company goes belly-up from lack of finances. Which will never happen cause everyone needs electricity.
Does anyone besides me see whats wrong with that picture? Why does a CEO get to make so much more money then a lowly Technician, who is raising a family of five kids and who helps keep the Nuclear Power Plant from actually melting down? That is Capitalism? I don't think so. It's seems to me more like a con-game. It's greed. Republican corporations like Pinnacle West are taking huge advantage of their slaves from lack of available jobs. And in some cases, making tons of profit and still laying-off workers they don't need from lack of growth they thought was right down the road. Capitalism is greed?
I thought Capitalism was about free markets and the option for the consumer to pick a product and use it's service because you trust it or better yet prefer it. Capitalism gives you the ability to compete with other business without fear of repercussions. Corporations are not allowed to monopolize industries, like you see happening with Google Search Engine and Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, even though we have the option to use the Linux-OS, the amount of software available for Windows completely blows Linux out of the water in shear comparison by numbers even though Linux is faster. And even though Yahoo and Bing are taking back huge portions of markets, Google will eventually be used by most of the people that grow accustomed to searching for stuff online because you can find just about anything using Google compared to Yahoo or Bing, who are manually limiting and manually censoring what you find when you search using their engines.
