What does it take to get a med card in Colorado?

What does it take to get a med card in Colorado?

Bella Eckburg, Opinion Director January 26, 2023
The legal age to recreationally use cannabis products is 21 years old in Colorado, the same age that determines one’s ability to purchase alcohol; however, medical marijuana access has different rules.  To get a Marijuana Enforcement Division Card in Colorado, which would allow you to enter the medical side of any dispensary to pick up your prescription, you need to first establish your Colorado residency and prove that you are a good candidate for benefitting from cannabis with your healthcare provider.

Strain Review: Cookie Monster wax — a warm high for the cold season

Miles Buchan, Staff Reporter December 1, 2022
