going to colorado soon, got a question

hey i am going to colorado soon from the midwest.

I basically want to know if i could get a med card while I was there and if so, what would i need?

nope.. i was there a few months back from the midwest also. i couldn't even step foot into a med shop. you need to have proof of living there for several months (prove that you are a colorado resident) like bills etc.. then once you can prove that, you can find a doc to prescribe you medical cannabis. once he does that you can fill out the form for your card and send that in w/ your money. then you wait for the place you send in to for approval.. then you get your card and are free to buy the stinky seems like a slow process but well worth it if you live there.

i looked into this .. im pretty sure you have to be a resident for a number of months maybe even 12 months ..

long enough to get bills sent to your home address
