Another marijuana measure: Arizona initiative would waive application fees for medical use May 11, 2015, 10:43pm MST Updated: May 12, 2015, 7:22am MST An Arizona initiative is being proposed to waive state application fees for medical marijuana patient cards. Mike Sunnucks Senior Reporter- Phoenix Business Journal Several marijuana-related measures could be on the 2016 ballot. The latest proposal is an Arizona initiative to waive state application fees for medical marijuana patient cards. Applicants currently must pay $150 — or $75 if they are on food stamps — to apply for a medical marijuana card, under a 2010 law narrowly approved by state voters. Organizers need to collect more than 150,600 valid voter signatures by next July to get this onto the November ballot. A group called the Arizona Marijuana Patient Society is proposing the measure. There are also efforts to legalize marijuana for recreational use and allow for large-scale hemp production.
