5280and420 Reviewed by 5280and420 on 10-27-2010. At 35 days - can I buy meds now? Yesterday was my 35-day anniversary from when the state rcvd my application, confirmed by certified mail (and of course I kept copies of everything I sent). Can I now purchase meds at Denver area dispensaries? I'm totally new to this stuff, (MMJ only to hopefully replace prescription narcotics). Rating: 5

Not sure who in their right matter would ever call it a "Card" - it's more like a "Plaque"

You got your card in 3 months? wow, the state must be catching up, took mine 8 months almost.

Received my card Tuesday. It was dated 10/16, I sent it inthe middle of February.

The 35 day rule applies to anyone in the state selling as an MMC under HB1284. For the DoR's position letter, click this link:

You're not legal from the day your rec is signed, but you can present an affirmative defense under Amendment 20. Since MMC legality doesn't fall under A20, but rather HB1284, you're illegally purchasing in those first 35 days and technically, they shouldn't be selling to you.

It's fairly cut and dry, I'm surprised so many of you weren't aware of this.

my experience was after 30 days from your doctors affirmation you had to have a cashed check, certified check or money order. then when you get your card your good to go. that took roughly 8 months.:thumbsup:

I just got my reccomendation on Tuesday and have experienced mixed results with the "35 day rule". The MMC that handled my referral and another would not sell to me. Tried a third and they didn't seem to follow it. From the way the stance is worded, it sounds like to me that the MMC would only be in trouble if for some reason a person is denied within the first 35 days. Kind of tough to do when it takes them almost that long to cash the check, much less review the application.

The application and proof of mailing are valid for use after the 35 days has elapsed. The place that sold to you prior to 35 days is running outside of the law and will not have a license for long.

...including the written documentation and proof of the date of mailing or other transmission of the written documentation for delivery to the state health agency, which shall be accorded the same legal effect as a registry identification card, until such time as the patient receives notice that the application has been denied.

As an aside, how in the hell will a dispensary know that a patient got rejected? Not like the patient is going to tell them that they got rejected. They will just keep using the app and proof of mailing for months...

This whole fucking process is retarded beyond belief. Welcome to government intervention.

I just received, 75 days after sending in my application by registered mail, a rejection letter from the state saying the Dr. the MMJ Center hooked me up with has sanctions on her license and can not recommend MMJ.

I started to grow my medicine at 35 days post app. mailing.

I have A.I.D.S. and have now been made an outlaw. Nice.
