Arizona Republic: “Nearly 34,000 Arizonans now hold cards giving them permission to smoke or grow weed, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services. Of them, a whopping 3.76 percent use marijuana to ease the symptoms of cancer. An additional 1.53 percent suffer from glaucoma, while 1.06 percent have AIDS. Meanwhile 89.8 percent — 30,203 people — are seeking relief for ‘severe and chronic pain.’ Nearly 73 percent of ‘patients’ are men, and the people most likely to seek relief from their pain are 18 to 30 years old. More than 26 percent of cardholders are 18-30, while 13 percent are over 60.”
