A state judge has ordered Gov. Jan Brewer to fully implement the 2010 voter-approved Medical Marijuana Act, saying she acted illegally by holding it up.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Richard Gama rejected the governor's argument that she has the discretion to delay enactment of parts of the law while she sought a ruling from another court about the liability of state workers under federal drug laws.

"Defendants cite no authority for this proposition, and the court has found none," Gama wrote in his ruling made public Wednesday.

... Gama also ruled state Health Director Will Humble illegally imposed some rules on who can and cannot have a license to operate a marijuana dispensary. The judge said nothing in the voter-approved law allows such restrictions.
