Anyone else heard that you need to renew your card by July 10?

If you card says authorize to cultivate, you can grow.
Live chat with the health department on their site and copy the chat as evidence.
If AZDHS sends out new cards d-authorizing patients to grow, there will be a lawsuit due to the misleading tactics of the state.
It would not come as a surprise if they did something sneaky under the radar, the politicians always do...
But notice when you sign up for your card there is box to check that says AMMA could be canceled at anytime.

So in arizona they keep track of which patients grow and those that do not? O_o

No this is Arizona man. Our program is just in its infancy and the dispensary portion is about to hit the ground.

Oh, the threat of being thrown in prison together with losing your home to civil asset forfeiture might go a long way toward putting that cork in.

Growers will be the ones calling the feds on the dispensaries. Once they are shut down, renew their cards. Has that not occurred to anyone?

Not exactly. The authorization is a special status on your card, giving you a license to cultivate. But the way the law is written, the state cannot grant this license if there is a dispensary operating within 25 miles of the patient's home address, on the day the card is issued or renewed. Since it's written into the law itself and not just a health department rule, it can't be changed without a whole new ballot initiative. An attempt to do that would probably end with repeal of the whole program at this point.

Individual cultivation in Arizona is doomed, if the state and the feds actually allow dispensaries to operate.

The politicians attempted to discredit this program as much as possible and unfortunately they did a good job..
All they needed to do was stall the dispensaries, sit back and watch the irresponsible people, who translate the AMMA guidelines into what they want to hear, ruin it for a sheer profit.
