State of Arizona, Appellee v. Rodney Christopher Jones, Appellant.

Summary

The court held that the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act's definition of marijuana includes cannabis resin and hashish, so the Act immunizes a registered qualifying patient's medical use of those forms when statutory limits and requirements are satisfied. The court rejected reliance on criminal-code distinctions between marijuana and cannabis and concluded that the allowable-amount provisions regulate quantity, not the type or form of marijuana. It reversed the trial court's denial of Jones's motion to dismiss and vacated the appellate opinion, convictions, and sentences.
