How Poor is Poor?
A few months ago Colorado passed a law allowing low-income medical marijuana patients to have access to tax-free medicine and a waiver of the annual $90 licensing fee.
Next Wednesday (10/20) the Colorado Board of Health will be voting to make it VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE* for anyone to qualify as a low-income patient. Please sign a petition and join Sensible Colorado and allies at Wednesday's hearing to tell the Health Department to "Show some compassion and adopt an indigent standard that actually helps those in need."
*Under the Health Department's proposal the only people who would qualify would be over 65, blind, disabled (according to rigid SSI standards), or whose net income is less than $903 a month and on food assistance.
