When is the stupidity of the current Medical Marijuana process going to stop and have it all replaced with legalization?
Too many 'prescriptions' are written by physicians who have a 'rubber stamp' process to prescribe marijuana for anyone who walks into their office, 'off the street'.
These 'docs' have no medical knowledge of the 'patient' and will never see the 'patient' again!
I got my prescription from my personal physician of 10 years who was aware of my pot smoking from my very first visit.
The real solution to this 'medical fraud' is to just legalize pot!
Just do it!

****New Rule May Allow More Docs To Prescribe Pot
(State Board Of Health Requires Physical Exams.)
DENVER -- More Colorado doctors could be eligible to recommend pot under revised physician rules adopted by the state Board of Health Wednesday.
The board backed off a proposed suggestion to ban doctors with conditions on their licenses to recommend medical marijuana. Some 2,000 would-be Colorado medical pot patients are in limbo because their recommendations came from such doctors.
Medical marijuana patients complained that some doctors with conditional licenses simply have a disability that may preclude them from performing surgery but it shouldn't ban them from recommending pot.
Instead, the Board of Health adopted a rule allowing those doctors to seek permission from a separate licensing board to recommend pot.
The board also defined a "bona fide" doctor-patient relationship as requiring doctors to physically examine people before recommending pot.
