pima county sheriff charged me with paraphenilia. says card doesnt cover it. didnt say a word to them though and the pipe wasnt on my person. so i am not worried about that in court. but they just told me they will test me, they told me to bring in proof of my doc rec for it, but i still feel kinda scared about the whole situation. didnt think they could even charge me with paraphenilia in the first place.

D. No person may be subject to arrest, prosecution or penalty in any manner, or denied any right or privilege, including any civil penalty or disciplinary action by a court or occupational or professional licensing board or bureau, for:
1. Providing a registered qualifying patient, a registered designated caregiver or a registered nonprofit medical marijuana dispensary with marijuana paraphernalia for purposes of a qualifying patient's medical use of marijuana.
further:
G. Property, including all interests in the property, otherwise subject to forfeiture under title 13, chapter 39, that is possessed, owned or used in connection with the medical use of marijuana authorized under this chapter or acts incidental to the medical use of marijuana authorized under this chapter, is not subject to seizure or forfeiture. This subsection does not prevent civil forfeiture if the basis for the forfeiture is unrelated to the medical use of marijuana.
they charged me with a paraphenilia charge and i am a current Arizona card holder. i am not too worried about court but i have a question. they have assigned me a pretrial caseworker and they are going to drug test me. i know that prop 203 specifically says that patients can legally have thc in there blood just as any other prescription drug, and the pretrial caseworker told me over the phone to just show her the card when i meet her. however, i want to be sure does anybody forsure that the card allows you to have thc in your blood from a state appointed drug test?
how can they test you without first being convicted of a crime without a court order? only way i know of is a DUI. if thats not the case they can piss in the cup! read up on your rights dont TALK to anyone except to say " i want a lawyer". you pissing in the cup with out a court order is giving them ammo to use on YOU. good luck and get a lawyer
Yes I was charged for drug free school zone (felony) at school for ALLEGEDLY having a empty bag of meds (tiny baggy that used to have meds in it. The school knows about my card and did an illegal search and siezure. (i left right after illegal search).So that's a felony And a para charge. I think it will be droped because I did not talk to the police and the "paraphernalia" wasnt even on my person when the cops came and i wasnt even at school anymore. So the way I see it in court there's no proof of the "paraphernalia" even being mine. However, I have a pre trial case worker now. They say they gonna drug test me, they told me in over phone to bring in proof "prescriptions" and i ask about my medical marijuana card, she seemed somewhat unsure and said to bring proof. But her unsureness concerns me because technically it's not a prescription it's a "doctor reccomendation" . So does my card cover a drug test from Pima county?
Well I have a pretrial case worker that wants to test me, they can't test me without consent or what? I heard probation in maracopa county let's card holders drop dirty for marijuana so I think il be fine. Pima county state court needs to uphold state laws, and according to az I can legal ingest cannabis. My lawyer told me if they challenge a dirty drop the judge will let it slide cuz the judge actually knows state law.

this is the state law if your a quilifing patient then the possession of cannibis or paraphernalia is legal except federal property and until the new law that was just signed goes into effect do not give up your rights talk to a lawyer since you have not been found guilty then they cannot make you give up your rights. they have no case so don't let them push you around.
