More confusion for caregivers. Thank you HB 10-1284!

So, can a caregiver currently provide for more than 5 patients or NOT? I can't even imagine how long this rule-making hearing will take. All the caregivers I know have already dropped patients to get to their 5 limit. What a bunch of BS!

The Department is working to implement the provisions of H.B. 10-1284. That law contains a provision that limits a primary-caregiver to caring for no more than five patients unless exceptional circumstances exist. The Department plans to draft rules which will establish the criteria for "exceptional circumstances". Any proposed rules will first be taken to the Medical Marijuana Advisory Committee, which is currently being created, for review and comment. A formal rule-making hearing before the state Board of Health is necessary to adopt such a standard. Until such time as the Board has adopted rules that establish the criteria for exceptional circumstances, it is the responsibility of the patient and his or her current primary care-giver to determine whether that primary care-giver will continue providing services to the patient.
