I have been battling Cancer, Systemic Lupus, Degenerative spine disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia for 10 years now. I’m at the end of the SLE (Lupus). It has now affected my vital organs to the point I am unable to work anymore.
I have held a AZ CCW 8 years. The medications I take don’t allow me to drive while on them so when Im on meds I do not drive. I am an executive professional by trade.
My body is allergic to most pain management medicines like morphine so pain management is VERY difficult. The pain levels I experience in this stage of my illnesses is to the point that I can no longer take enough prescriptions pain meds to ease my pain and I suffer terribly. I have tried every holistic approach possible (hypnotherapy, vitamins/supplements, etc).
Because I have tried everything I can the last 10 years, my Dr. approached me with trying medical marijuana. I can not smoke anything due to lung degeneration but there are alternatives to smoking the MJ.
My question is……. Can they revoke my Arizona CCW if I am prescribed by a licensed AZ Dr?
Also with the HIPPA act, would the investigation be illegal if they did revoke my CCW because I and a "medcial patient"?
Last, on the CCW permit it asked if I am mentally ill. Because I have depression occasionally due my health problems and take medicine to control it, did I violate the question because mental illness includes depression? (if this is the case, every police office and veteran who has PTSD would also violate this law wouldnt they - rhetorical state ment here/just venting)
I understand these are legal matters, but I cannot find anything on my situation and need help. I agree that anyone on any medications need to be responsible while taking them. I also agree the I have my 2nd amendment rights but can they take them away?
Mahalo (thank you) and Aloha from AZ!!
