SCOTTSDALE PHILANTHROPIST TRYING TO UNITE MEDICAL-MARIJUANA USERS AND GROWERS

 

When the state began approving applications for medical-marijuana users last month, officials offered no guidance about where to find pot.

 

Since dispensaries are not yet licensed, more than two-thirds of the roughly 3,300 Arizonans who have permission to use marijuana also have indicated they plan to grow it.

 

But the rest are on their own, and Scottsdale philanthropist Gerald Gaines says terminally ill patients and others are having trouble tracking down marijuana. So Gaines is launching an effort to put users and growers together.
