A fellow toker from Texas, going to move to Colorado

Hey everyone I'm Jason I'm 22 (fixing to turn 23) and I'm a pot smoker from Dallas, TX. Me and the family are planning to move to the Denver area in the summer of 2016 and I have some questions for those in Colorado. Okay is it very difficult to get a medicinal card? And yes I suffer from chronic pain and I have mild scoliosis, chronic depression/anxiety and a irregular spacing in my pelvis and my father suffers from type 1 diabetes and neuropathy. Either way I hope to enjoy it up there and get away from this heat, thanks for listening.

welcome to riu i cant answer all your question best you go to the colorado section found here : http://rollitup.org/f/colorado-patients.102/

WHat's Texas?

It is quite easy to get your med card, at least for the time being. The vast majority of cards are issued for chronic pain.

However, the medical marijuana rules are going to sunset this year. The state senate has decided to debate individual aspects before approving new regulations. One thing being mentioned that they want to crack down on is the abuse of the mmj systems by individuals claiming chronic pain.

Basicly until the senate is done, there is no telling exactly what mmj regulations will be in place for 2016.

Do you have a pulse and 100 or so dollars? You're in.

Yes, it does. The argument isn't that it doesn't treat chronic pain. What they want to stop is the fact that too many people use chronic pain as a reason to get the card when they don't actually have a problem. As you said, all you need is a pulse and $100.

They wont remove chronic pain from the list of qualifications. However I wouldn't be surprised to see them require more real documentation in regards to the cause of the pain.

Got a stainless steel strap and screws in my ankle, I've used that every time. Hard to deny an xray showing gear in your ankle.

Most definetly, and I doubt anyone will go after people with honest problems.Screwing with disabled people is never politically popular. They may not change that part at all.

I think changes that are more likely to be approved are mandatory caregiver registration, higher scrutiny of large plant counts, required quality testing for mmj centers, and possibly raising taxes closer to rec levels.

I think they've had their fun around here and its over......except for the dui's.

They used to be brutal around here, probably still are when they get the chance. The fuckers busted my nephew for growing a couple years ago. They cuffed him, sat him down in his own front yard and then flashbanged him with no warning or reason other than they're sadistic fucks. I lost any respect for LEO after that and if it were me they did that too I'd pretty much take it personal and have a goal in life that would probably not end well.

And if they aren't smart enough to realize ridiculous taxation fuels the black market they're fucking morons.

I know exactly..I just looked at him stone faced when the dude told me

dude i feal you with this heat ,i wouldn't even worry about it just go to hospital were you got your M R I and get copies ,show them to doctor.I do think there is a lot of abuse out there though which in time is going to make it hard for us.But on the other hand i was addicted to my psycho dope and my pain pills ,got ammune to them pretty quick ,started taking oxy and every time i went to pharmacy to get them filled it would take 2 days to get it cleared threw all the political bull shit they do for regulation .Finally i said fuck it and just qiute taking all med's together ,damn it boy ,someone that has P T S D from the sand box just don't do it ,i had a hell of a time ,my old lady went out bought me some good weed and that's the only thing that keep me from going over the edge of the world ,it wasn't good time's .I'm convinced that they want to keep you on the pharm's to increase side affects and to eat your liver up were you will just die and the long term effect keeps you from filing claims on your benefits. I could just go on and on ,but looky here bro ,iv'e lived in texas all my life and i'm sick of it to but iv'e got to much invested here ,but if you got a away to move there ,go hard bro,colorada is awsome man ,i go there ,durango every year to get in some fishing and to just enjoy the snow and mountains ,good luck hell who no's i might just say fuck it and move there myself one day.

where are you asking for a med card at? i don't believe texas has med marijuana and colorado is rec. so no card needed.
