New draft bill will essentially kill off caregivers in Colorado
I also noticed this language about a Bona-Fide relationship between Patient and Physician, I think you are referring to SENATE BILL 10-109 which defines the relationship as:
(a) "BONA FIDE PHYSICIAN-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP", FOR PURPOSES
OF THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROGRAM, MEANS:
(I) A PHYSICIAN AND A PATIENT HAVE A TREATMENT OR COUNSELING
RELATIONSHIP, IN THE COURSE OF WHICH THE PHYSICIAN HAS COMPLETED A
FULL ASSESSMENT OF THE PATIENT'S MEDICAL HISTORY AND CURRENT
MEDICAL CONDITION, INCLUDING AN APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PHYSICAL
EXAMINATION;
(II) THE PHYSICIAN HAS CONSULTED WITH THE PATIENT WITH
RESPECT TO THE PATIENT'S DEBILITATING MEDICAL CONDITION BEFORE THE
PATIENT APPLIES FOR A REGISTRY IDENTIFICATION CARD; AND
(III) THE PHYSICIAN IS AVAILABLE TO OR OFFERS TO PROVIDE
FOLLOW-UP CARE AND TREATMENT TO THE PATIENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO PATIENT EXAMINATIONS, TO DETERMINE THE EFFICACY OF THE
USE OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA AS A TREATMENT OF THE PATIENT'S
DEBILITATING MEDICAL CONDITION.
Fortunately, I think that Coloradans are still Ok with this as recounting my own personal experience with my physician, I noticed that he followed the above regs to a T including scheduling a 3 month follow-up with me, Plus clinics are not allowed to be connected to dispensaries in this state......However, I can only speak from this one experience.....
