At present there are thirteen states with laws permitting patients to use medicinal marijuana to treat pain, and Arizona is one of them. If you have one of the pre-existing medical conditions that qualify you to use marijuana in your treatment, read on to learn how you can get a medical marijuana prescription in the state of Arizona.

Step 1: Medical Marijuana Eligibility
- Determining how to become eligible for a medical marijuana prescription depends on the severity of your illness is the determining factor in whether or not a patient qualifies for a medical marijuana prescription. Patients suffering from a number of painful, terminal illnesses like:

Step 4: The Law
- Some lawmakers still work night and day to try and change the laws that have allowed the use of medicinal marijuana to become more regular. Proposition 200 changed the state laws against punishment for non-violent drug offenders. These users would be more likely to receive rehabilitation treatment than jail time, however, the federal law still outweighs state laws and in some cases marijuana users could be tried in federal court.

Conclusion
- If you are suffering from a painful disease, and you think marijuana treatment might alleviate some of your suffering talk to your doctor and find out if you're eligible. Once you've obtained a prescription, you'll want to visit a licensed dealer in your area to fill your prescription. As time goes on, law enforcement becomes less involved in the treatment of terminally ill patients, but because marijuana is still an illegal controlled substance in the United States, there still might be some risks at a federal level.
