Recommending Medical Marijuana
Marijuana remains a Schedule I controlled substance under the Federal Controlled Substances Act, and recommendations for medical marijuana are not prescriptions.
Article XVIII, Section 14 of the Colorado Constitution, and Section 25-1.5-106 of the Colorado Revised Statutes authorize qualified physicians and advanced practice practitioners with prescriptive authority to recommend medical marijuana if they determine that the patient suffers from a debilitating or disabling medical condition and might benefit from such use. The recommendation is submitted to the Medical Marijuana Registry with the rest of the patient's application. If all other application information is complete and correct, the patient will be issued a registry identification card. The prescriber's recommendation for medical marijuana cannot be "filled" as a prescription at a pharmacy.
