Question about residency

[epicseeds]

So 2 of my good friends just moved to Boulder, and I plan on moving in with them next year. I plan on visiting them within the next month and have a few questions. If I am not a resident, can I go ahead and get a MMJ card while I visit?

Another question I have is, what does it take to become a CO resident? Is there any way to make it look like I am living there now so I can get a head start on doing my "time" in order to become a resident?

Any info is welcome!

Here is a link for the Application for patients over 18yo. On the second page they list acceptable documents for ID and residency.

Contact the post office and have them start sending your mail to that address, as long as you save some of the envelopes , the date of those should start your residency.

When you visit, declare Colorado as your residence by turning in your license and getting a CO one. Bring you medical records for an approved condition from you home doctor, get a referral, send in the app, put all the paperwork/reciepts together, go to dispensary. That can happen in a matter of hours.

There is no "time" requirement to become a resident unless you are applying for the state rate for the university.

You would need mail from a utility/cable, not just random mail. You might be able to get by if you're smooth

Does anybody know if my back, neck, and hip x-rays from my chiropractor would be sufficient enough as med records?

Chiropractors can't sign the rec. but their records can be used by an MD or Do to make the rec.

The idea is to be overly sufficient. Why do you see a chiropractor, referred by doctor? Did you sustain a serious injury to cause your "chronic pain"? Where is the record of that? Do you have arthritis? If you have all the records pertaining from a DOCTOR you will be fine.

example: Patient Mr. Green goes to MMJ doctor referral found on CL. Nice Dr. asks Mr. Green about the problem.

Mr. G.: "I have tendinitis/arthritis in my elbow from a repeated use injury. My previous doctor had me on weird medication that I did not respond well to. I would like to try Marijuana to relieve the pain while I continue my rehabilitation process."

Dr.: "Do you have records from your/a doctor confirming this diagnosis?"

Mr. G: "Yes"[hands over faxed paged stating my doctor diagnosed me with tendinitis]

Dr.: [signs recommendation] "Take this up front and pay the receptionist."

I do not know whether a chiropractor records will work. It's not really a medical diagnosis. Let us know if it does.

Well Im mostly using them as reference. I'm gonna save a little extra money just in case I have to get x-rays again from an actual doctor. Just to be on the safe side.

Would there be any problems if I were to get a CO drivers liscense yet still live in another state for about another 6 months?

If somehow I get my name on a utility bill where my friends are living is that when i START being a resident? I dont fully understand how you START being a resident.

You don't start being a resident, you either are or are Not a resident.

Youll need an address, youll need a Co DL, youll need to register your vehicle in Co. Having a job in Co would help too, as would a bank account, a lease, etc.
