Colorado Medical Marijuana Law states that qualifying conditions for prescription cannabis are as follows:

• Cachexia
• Cancer
• Chronic pain
• Chronic nervous system disorders
• Glaucoma
• HIV or AIDS
• Nausea
• Persistent Muscle Spasms
• Seizures
• PTSD
• Medicinal Marijuana in lieu of an opioid

It should be noted, however, that each case will be evaluated individually and decisions will be made at the discretion of each medical professional.  

Colorado Medical Marijuana Law notes that two ounces of usable marijuana are allowed per patient.  If a patient is approved for an extended plant count, however, these possession limits may be increased at the doctor’s discretion.

Patients (or primary caregivers) may cultivate no more than six marijuana plants with three or fewer being mature, flowering plants that are producing a usable form of marijuana. Though there are cases where more than six plants are allowed this is usually only prescribed for patients with severe medical conditions, such as cancer.

After your appointment (assuming you qualify for medicinal marijuana), we will help you complete an online application for a medical marijuana card to be submitted to the state. This service is offered at no additional charge.

This includes:

1. Creating an online account with the state.
2. Adding your patient registration to your newly created state account.
3. Uploading your “Physician Certification” to your state account.
4. Guiding you through the state payment portal. (The state asks for $25.00 to process your card. This payment must be made with a credit card, debit card or electronic check.)
5. Providing you with copies of your application and physician certification for your records and for temporary card purposes, if applicable.

As of January 1, 2017 the CDPHE began accepting online applications. As described above, our qualified staff will walk you through the online application process which will speed the delivery of your medical card, ensuring that you receive it within 48 business hours.

The doctors appointment must be conducted in-person, but the application to the state is done online, which we are happy to clarify on how to do.
