IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING MMJ LAW

Under Colorado state law, patients with temporary paperwork can only purchase medical marijuana if they are 1) a new Colorado mmj registry patient, and 2) are within 35 days of the date on the stamped return receipt from the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment. Patients who are in the process of renewing their Colorado mmj registry license may not purchase medication with temporary paper under any circumstance.
