This state has a per se drugged driving law enacted. In their strictest form, these laws forbid drivers from operating a motor vehicle if they have a detectable level of an illicit drug or drug metabolite (i.e., compounds produced from chemical changes of a drug in the body, but not necessarily psychoactive themselves) present in their bodily fluids above a specific, state-imposed threshold. Further information about cannabinoids and their impact on psychomotor performance.

Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. §§ 28-1381(A)(1), (3) (West 2010). However, a registered qualifying medical use patient shall not be considered to be under the influence solely for having marijuana metabolites in his or her system.

Arizona’s interpretation of the federal Constitution allows law enforcement officials to conduct sobriety checkpoints.
Roadblocks screening for drunk drivers are condoned in light of immense public concern regarding drunk driving, so long as there is minimal intrusion into drivers’ liberty. State v. Superior Court, 143 Ariz. 45, 691 P.2d 1073)(1984).
State v. Hammonds, 192 Ariz. 528 (App. Div.1 1998) — Statute proscribing driving with a drug metabolite in one’s body is rationally related to legitimate state purpose and does not violate equal protection clause. Even though scientific evidence showed conclusively that the mere presence of a metabolite does not necessarily represent impairment, contrary expert testimony successfully showed that the presence of inert metabolites does not rule out impairment.
State v. Love, 897 P.2d 626, 629 (1995) — Factors to be considered when determining whether defendant “operated” motor vehicle: whether the vehicle was running or the ignition was on; where the key was located; where and in what position the driver was found in the vehicle; whether the person was awake or asleep; if the vehicle’s headlights were on; where the vehicle was stopped (in the road or legally parked); whether the driver had voluntarily pulled off the road; time of day and weather conditions; if the heater or air conditioner was on; whether the windows were up or down; and any explanation of the circumstances advanced by the defense.

Yes, if residence is further than 25 miles from a state-licensed dispensary facility. No more than twelve marijuana plants in an “enclosed, locked facility.”
Yes, state-licensed nonprofit dispensaries may produce and dispense marijuana to authorized patients on a not-for-profit basis.
Yes, the act provides a limited reciprocity to ‘visiting qualifying patients’. In order to qualify, the patient: (1) must not be a resident of Arizona (or has resided in Arizona for less than 30 days), (2) must have been diagnosed with a medical condition recognized under the Act, and (3) must possess a medical marijuana registration card or its equivalent that was issued pursuant to the laws of another state. The out-of-state registration card has the same force and effect as a card issued in Arizona except that the visiting qualifying patient may not purchase medical marijuana in Arizona.

Prohibits the US Treasury Department from using federal funds to take punitive actions against banks that provide financial services to marijuana-related businesses that are operating legally under state laws. ‘N/A’ means that the Senator did not have the opportunity to vote on this amendment.
Q: How do you reconcile the tolerance for alcohol with the intolerance for marijuana? A: I can’t support the legalization of marijuana. Scientific evidence indicates that the moment that it enters your body, one, it does damage, and second, it can become addictive. It is a gateway drug. There is a problem in American with alcohol abuse, and there’s no doubt about that. We have to do whatever we can to – prevention, education, and that applies to drugs too. Source: Republican Debate at Dartmouth College , Oct 29, 1999 9/6/2013: “Maybe we should legalize. We’re certainly moving that way as far as marijuana is concerned. I respect the will of the people.” 2007: (Link)

Prohibits the Department of Justice from interfering with state medical marijuana programs and the patients who rely on them.
On Feb. 12, 18 House reps sent a letter to Pres Obama requesting he “instruct Attorney General Holder to delist or classify marijuana in a more appropriate way.” The signees include 17 Dems and one Republican.
Brent Franks (R)
“However, the current debate to legalize marijuana is not based on medical need. Rather, it is nothing more than a ruse being used by a clandestine few, who prey upon those groups who believe the debate centers only upon marijuana as a potential medicine in order to create language that will ultimately become leverage to legalize hard drugs across the board, and wreak complete havoc on our society. I believe, just as the legalization of opium adversely impacted American society during the late 19th century, the legalization of marijuana and other illegal drugs would cause devastation to America’s family and bring about serious danger within our nation’s mechanized workforce. Legalizing marijuana would be a means of creating backdoor legislation for the legalization of many other very dangerous drugs. The compassionate answer to this debate is to grant greater access to the legitimate pharmaceutical drugs that have been proven effective in providing the relief and treatment essential to America’s medical patients.” 8/26/2004 (Link)
“Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., doesn’t anticipate Congress will legalize any forms of marijuana, including medical. He said “the so-called medical forces” are trying to fully legalize the drug. He compared marijuana to opium, saying the legalization would destroy families. “Colorado is an example to the country, I believe, and if we look closely, we’ll probably be reticent about trying to stone the whole country,” Franks said. “I don’t think that the United States Congress is going to legalize recreational marijuana, notwithstanding the fact that sometimes it may appear that we’re all stoned on it.” 4/21/2015 (Link)
“As a health care professional, I oppose Proposition 205 and the legalization of recreational marijuana as it would cause major public safety risks, endanger Arizona kids, and protect a commercial industry that profits from expanded drug use. This is a bad deal for our roads, our kids, and our economy,” said U.S. Representative Paul Gosar. “Why would we allow Arizona to be Big Marijuana’s next victim when we can point to the catastrophic impacts of legalized recreational marijuana in neighboring states? Colorado and other marijuana-friendly states have seen increased pot-related hospitalizations, youth usage, accidental ingestion, and marijuana-related DUIs. We can not let Big Marijuana make millions at Arizona’s expense. I urge Arizonans to get the facts on legalized recreational marijuana and ask Arizonans to vote ‘no’ in November.” (9/14/2016) “Regardless of your feelings on States’ Rights, medical marijuana or recreational marijuana, people should not be able to get high using hard-earned taxpayer money. The sole purpose of this bill is to prohibit marijuana from being purchased with federal welfare benefits. Taxpayers expect and deserve a lean, efficient government
