All of these doctors had full disclosure of the status of their licenses, and were in good standing to sign Medical Marijuana recommendations before October 18, 2010. It is no coincidence that two weeks before elections, this decision was made, and the Registry was told that they COULD NOT notify any of these doctors. Many doctors found out after thousands of their patient's applications were returned during a mass mailed on October 28th, 2010 stating that these doctors were not allowed to prescribe medical marijuana by the state of Colorado. These doctors have been helping patients in the community since the beginning, and are qualified, caring physicians. What the "powers that be" did not consider are the hundreds of thousands of patient that they were affecting for political reasons. The main concern of the physicians at this time is to assist their patients in getting legal licenses again, because at this point, anyone who has received any rejection letter because of this decision are NOT LEGAL. Please make sure that the people responsible for this blasphemous decision are inundated with phone calls, letters and complaints for their complete disregard of these patients well being.

I cannot speak for all 18 doctors, but I can speak for the ones that I have personal knowledge of. They are currently seeking legal action and are fighting to get a temporary injuction. I only wish this would have been widely publicized before the elections today, as I believe many people would have changed their voting decisions.

My heart goes out to all patients who have been affected by this and please know that these physicians are still dedicated to your care and comfort.
Your words are appreciated and I thank you. Reading between the lines I sense you are a Doctor involved or work with one.

I understand the decision to include the new classes of restriction in the "allowed" or "not allowed" to Recommend MMJ was made without Public input as the law prescribes. This is clearly outside the law.

I have heard there has been an injunction placed now and these recommendations are once again "legal". Am I wrong?
