Do Not Be Fooled or Lied To by The Dispensaries in Colorado

[senorx12562]

OK - I'm feeling like an idiot. I just made my first trip to a dispensary. I was filling out some paperwork before I could purchase and one section was talking about assigning them as primary caregiver. I told the guy I had already assigned a primary on my application. He told me that the person I assigned was my "state caregiver" and that assigning them as my "primary caregiver" just allowed them to sell to me. They also said I could assign multiple primary caregivers. They showed me this form http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/hs/medi...Changeform.pdf and said I would have to fill this out before the caregiver I assigned on my application could be changed.

So now I'm really confused.

Did I just screw myself or my "state caregiver"??

If I did, how do I fix this?

Thank you

Sorry, I forgot. I believe the dispensary lied to you. You can only have either 1 or 0 caregivers designated with the CDPHE. You cannot add a caregiver, you can only change it. Note the language at the bottom of the form about revoking the previous caregiver (weird grammar, I thought only God could revoke someone). The more interesting issue is, how do you go from a caregiver to no caregiver?

The patient can obtain medicine anywhere they want, and as soon as it is in the patient's hand, it is legal under state law for them to possess it. It doesn't matter whether it is legal for the seller or not. If a cop were to interrupt the transaction while the medicine was still in the hands of the seller, and the seller did not have a license as a patient, (which I guess means it is still just pot instead of "medicine") the seller could be arrested, no matter who the buyer's designated caregiver is. There is no separate license to be a caregiver. The buyer's caregiver for a particular transaction is the seller, designated as such with the state or not, for purposes of making it legal for the patient. One of the anomalies of the law is the situation where a designated caregiver is not also licensed as a patient.

Where does it say that a caregiver NEEDS a medical marijuana liscense? I dont understand why you would need to be sick to dispense medicine. From my understanding, patients can designate caregivers who do not actually consume the medicine, nor are patients.

Care-giver: a person, other than the patient and the patient's physician, who is eighteen years of age or older and has significant responsibility for managing the well-being of a patient who has a debilitating medical condition.

In order to be eligible to receive protections under Colorado State law as a medical marijuana patient or care-giver you must be registered with the Colorado Medical Marijuana Registry that is operated and maintained by the Colorado Dept. of Public Health and Environment. The registry is not affiliated with any privately operated club, organization or dispensary.

It seems to me that they only ask you to register as a caregiver, but not actually require you to be a patient.


...Am I correct to believe this?

I'll charge you double or not at all if I one of you has the sack to bring up price around me.

There is no way to register as a caregiver, you can only BE registered as a caregiver by a patient.
