A CBS 5 investigation found medical marijuana delivery services operating outside the boundaries of state law, violating guidelines, procedures and potentially opening their sales to buyers who do not carry valid state-issued medical marijuana cards.
Data from the state Department of Health Services show nearly half of the recipients of medical marijuana cards in Arizona are younger than 40.
State officials assume many of them are relatively healthy, having obtained their cards by claiming to suffer from chronic pain.
“It’s kind of like ordering a pizza. I can call them up and they bring, bring it to me,” said one former marijuana user who asked not to be identified.
