The woman who runs the Colorado Department of Health's Medical Marijuana Registry recently said in court testimony that there are over 350 physicians within the state who have signed recommendations for mmj therapy. The possibility of your discussing this with another family physician may just be a better and cheaper alternative to going through the few clinics available, which usually charge upwards of $200. to review medical records and make a decision for recommendation or not.

Deborah Tunge, the sole entity at the registry regularly is willing to speak with physicians to ease their concerns and fears. You see, about eight years ago, after MMJ passed in Colorado, the federal DEA sent letters out to all the physicians in the state threatening them with prosecution, loss of medical license, and just plain HELL if they signed any recommendations. The ensuing "chilling effect" has obviously subsided with so many physicians now willing to see through the benefits of mmj therapy as means to cut down use of prescription and narcotic drugs. The local chapter of the compassionatecoaltion also has free copies of a CD which has over 300 research papers showing the benefits of mmj for a variety of ailments, that your family physician can review. Just go to one of the meetings listed below, and you should be able to secure a copy for your doctor.
