the colorado dept of health is trying to do an end run around the constitutional right to use medical marijuana.
they are doing this by making it much more difficult to be a provider /caretaker. they are trying to define a caretaker as one who is significantly responsable for the care of the patient as well as limiting the number of patients a caretaker can have.
as well they are attempting to place id and notory restrictions on caretakers as well.
the people that could be harmed by this is huge people who are home bound or too poor sick or weak to grow their own the sickist of the sickest is who will be injured.
as well some of the larger caretakers in colo are up to 400-500 patients each,they will lose their livelyhoods or be again forced to become criminals.
this is scary and presidant setting material i encourage all who read this to contact the colo dept of health and raise hell.
