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.

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 HERE and join Sensible Colorado and allies at Wednesdayâ??s hearing to tell the Health Department to â??Show some compassion and adopt an indigent standard that actually helps those in need.â?�

*Under the Health Departmentâ??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.
