HOW TO GET YOUR COLORADO ID

Colorado Medical Marijuana ID card.

Acquiring access to medical marijuana in the U.S. is becoming simpler all the time. As of 2020, medical marijuana programs are obtainable in 33 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. If you live in one of these locations and are interested in making marijuana part of your medical care, you’ll need to work with your doctor to apply for an ID card. Before you start the procedure, get familiar with your local laws in Colorado and regulations so that you’ll know what to expect and how to go forward.

In most states, you must be diagnosed with one or more qualifying medical conditions in order to get a medical marijuana card. The list of approved condition varies from one place to another, so look closely at the list of conditions on your local medical marijuana program’s website.

  • You may also be able to request a list of qualifying conditions from your doctor or your local public health department.
  • Common conditions that qualify for treatment with medical marijuana include cancer, seizure disorders, HIV/AIDS, glaucoma, and severe pain for which your doctor might otherwise prescribe an opioid.
  • Some states allow the use of medical marijuana for almost any condition, while others are much more restrictive. A few states have “limited access” programs where qualifying patients can use low-THC, high-CBD cannabis products to treat a variety of conditions.
