2 Arizona doctors disciplined for medical pot

State medical boards have disciplined two doctors who improperly recommended medical marijuana to hundreds of patients.

State officials filed complaints in August against eight physicians who had recommended nearly half of the 10,000 Arizonans certified to use medical marijuana, saying they failed to check patients' prescription-drug histories as required. The disciplinary actions against the two doctors were a result of the complaints by the state Department of Health Services.

State rules regulating the voter-approved medical-marijuana law require people to obtain a written recommendation from a licensed physician.
