Physician Referral Service
Ask us how to get set up with a compassionate Dr. We want to answer all of your questions so call TODAY 720.235.4232
How do I become a patient?
1. A doctor must write you a marijuana recommendation. Some patients are reluctant to ask their primary physician for a referral. We can refer you to a physician to perform an independent, confidential evaluation.
2. Send the doctor’s recommendation to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, along with your application and $90 fee. Designate Boulder Kind Care as your caregiver. We’ll help you with all the necessary forms, and make copies for your records.
3. Once approved, you will receive a state-issued medical marijuana card and be included in the medical marijuana registry. Your ID card is valid for one year, after which you’ll need to apply again.
Do I qualify under Amendment 20?
Patients who wish to determine their eligibility for medical marijuana treatment must find a doctor with whom the patient can work comfortably and confidentially. The advocacy group Americans for Safe Access lists the following ailments as fitting the definition of a debilitating medical condition:
* Cancer;
* Glaucoma, and;
* Positive status for human immunodeficiency virus;
Patients undergoing treatment for such conditions are defined as having a debilitating medical condition.
* A chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition other than HIV, cancer or glaucoma; or treatment for such conditions, which produces for a specific patient one or more of the following, and for which, in the professional opinion of the patient's physician, such condition or conditions may reasonably be alleviated by the medical use of marijuana:
* Cachexia (wasting);
* Severe pain;
* Severe nausea;
* Seizures, including those that are characteristic of epilepsy;
* Persistent muscle spasms/spasticity, including those that are characteristic of multiple sclerosis.
In addition, patients and physicians may submit petitions to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to include other medical conditions that may be alleviated by the medical use of marijuana.
Following the medical assessment by your physician, the doctor (who must be licensed to practice medicine in Colorado) needs to complete and provide the appropriate certification to the patient. This document confirms that you have received a diagnosis of one of the qualifying medical conditions. Patients may then apply to the Medical Marijuana Registry and request the proper state identification card. Because there is no formal prescription given to medical marijuana patients, it is not available through pharmacies. Your doctor can only recommend -- not prescribe -- medical marijuana for your condition. Neither the Medical Marijuana Registry nor any agency of the state provides information as to how or where to obtain medical marijuana.
