The Colorado Medical Marijuana program is one of the most accepted legal marijuana systems, at least at a local public level, within the entire country. Currently Colorado is attempting to legalize Marijuana for all adults above the age of twenty one and will vote on the legislation this coming November.
The Colorado Medical Marijuana program is very similar to the Californian model and supplies patients with Medical Marijuana cards and dispensaries where patients purchase their medicine. In order to qualify for a medical marijuana license you will require a recommendation from a physician that believes that your specific condition may be treatable with Marijuana.
There are several almost “pre-approved” conditions that will grant you access to the Colorado Medical Marijuana program; Cancer, HIV/AIDS, MS or other Muscle disorders, Glaucoma, Arthritis to name a few. As a rule of thumb any chronic disease will also qualify a patient for a medical marijuana license.
The Marijuana card, as some people call it, resembles that of a driver’s license and requires an initial fee and sub sequentially an annual fee. With this card you will be granted access to Marijuana Dispensaries, which are legal “pharmacies” where you can find the preferred strain that best deals with your discomfort, seeds and anything else you may need. A Dispensary operator will assist you with your decisions. In most cases if you are suffering from pain related issues you would most likely use the Indica Phenotype and in cases of anxiety disorders, Sativa phenotype.
Patients also have the right to grow their own Medical Marijuana on their property but are limited to the amount of marijuana they can grow. If you are caught with more medicine than the state limit a patient can argue that it was for medical purposes. It is recommended that during the arrest that the patient discloses nothing with the arresting police officer. The state limits in terms of possession works as follows:
1. 6 plants – 3 mature, 3 in vegetative stage
2. 2 ounces of useable marijuana
If in any case you violate this law you could be restricted from the Colorado Medical Marijuana program for one year. You can avoid any legal repercussions by simply maintaining a low profile. This means no driving while under the influence or public display of any kind, it is still considered illegal.
The best option for patients would be to grow their own medicine or have a caregiver do it for them. The dispensaries in Colorado are not regulated by the state and thus can be different based on county or municipality. In Colorado even minors can be marijuana patients if they have parental consent.
The concept of Medical Marijuana was whole fully accepted by the state of Colorado and it might be the case this year that Marijuana becomes a legal substance for all adults over twenty one. This new law will usher in the age of Commercial and Industrial Cannabis which is a completely different aspect than Medical Marijuana, mainly due to the strict medical standards in terms of cultivating, harvesting and packaging Medical Marijuana.
