Tucson Weekly: “Navajo County Superior Court Judge Dale Nielson has declared extracts illegal. The basis for his stance concerns the definition of cannabis in Arizona state law. The state’s statutes define cannabis as “the resin extracted from” marijuana plants, and pot laws written more than 50 years ago classify cannabis as a narcotic. The 2010 Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, however, has no definition for cannabis, raising inconsistencies about what patients can buy from dispensaries. It does have language about mixtures and other preparations, but Nielson decided this only applies to the dried flower.”
