Arizona’s Governor, Jan Brewer, struggles with the proper actions that should be made with Arizona’s new marijuana law that was passed by voters in November, making the drug legal.

Though it may be legal, the distribution of marijuana still falls against federal law, which means a subject can be prosecuted.

U. S. Attorney, Dennis Burke, warns the state officials that he will “vigorously prosecute individuals and organizations that participate in unlawful manufacturing, distribution and marketing activity involving marijuana, even if such activities are permitted under state law”.

Even though Brewer wants to support the wish of voters, she still fears the good faith of average Arizonans and state employees.

Since the time marijuana became legal in Arizona, nearly 4,000 medical cards have been given to people to use marijuana due to medical problems, most of them for chronic pain.

It is unclear whether the state will issue licenses for dispensaries to sell the drug commercially or not.

This is not the first time Arizona has dealt with controversial laws. Earlier, Arizona passed an immigration law that allowed authorities to identify those who looked like illegal immigrants. This caused all sorts of debates which mainly focused on racial profiling.
