Denver, CO: Draft regulations to establish a state-run, medical
marijuana patient registry were released this week by the Colorado Board
of Health. Voters approved legislation last year legalizing the medical
use of marijuana for qualified patients.
The proposed regulations establish a confidential patient registry
similar to those in other states, and authorize the health department to
issue serially numbered identification cards to qualified patients.
Cards shall include the patient's name, address, birth-date and social
security number, as well as the name and address of the patient's primary
caregiver. Only authorized state employees or local law enforcement
agencies shall have access to the registry.
A $140 fee is due upon application for the card.
A public hearing on the draft rules will be held on March 21. Written
comments may be submitted to: Colorado Board of Health C/O Linda
Shearman, Program Assistant, Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment, 4300 Cherry Creek Drive South EDO-A5, Denver, CO 80246-1530.
