Thousands of sick patients are receiving rejection letters for their medical marijuana applications due to no fault of their own.  The Medical Marijuana Registry, in a closed door meeting, heartlessly decided to reject all medical marijuana recommendations from doctors who have any restrictions or conditions on their medical license – even if the doctor’s restriction is due to a physical disability!

Even worse, the MMJ Registry decided not to inform targeted doctors of this policy.  Instead, they decided to let patients find out the hard way-- by rejecting their applications often months after submission.

Here at Sensible Colorado, we are shocked by this policy, and are still in the process of assessing our options. We are currently looking for stories from affected patients. If your application has been rejected please email your story to: [email protected].

IMPORTANT:  If you are about to renew or apply for your medical marijuana card, please check to make sure your Doctor’s license has no restrictions or conditions on it. You can do this here: http://www.dora.state.co.us/medical/index.htm
