PHOENIX 鈥揗aricopa County Attorney William Montgomery has decided not to challenge the most recent ruling upholding Arizona鈥檚 Medical Marijuana Act, as the deadline of December 11 to seek review by the United States Supreme Court has passed. In 2016, the Arizona Court of Appeals found in favor of a Sun City medical marijuana dispensary, ruling that federal law prohibiting marijuana does not void Arizona鈥檚 Medical Marijuana Act and that the county and state should therefore allow the dispensary to continue operating. The 老澳门开奖结果 and the 老澳门开奖结果 of Arizona represented the White Mountain Health Center on this issue of federal preemption.

Emma Andersson, the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 lead attorney on White Mountain Medical Center v. Maricopa County and staff attorney with the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Criminal Law Reform Project, had this response:

鈥淔rom the beginning, Maricopa County Attorney William Montgomery was clear about his intentions with this case鈥攈e wanted to shut down medical marijuana in Arizona and throughout the country. He spent five years in litigation, trying to use federal law as a cudgel against the will of voters in his own state and across the country. His effort failed.

鈥淎s he waged his futile battle in the drug war, White Mountain and Arizona鈥檚 other dispensaries continued their good work, providing crucial medicine to people with debilitating conditions. That is what Arizonans wanted when they voted for medical marijuana access in 2010. Today, finally, medical marijuana is safe in Arizona.鈥�
