On March 18, the Colorado Board of Health will hold a public hearing to consider changes in Colorado's medical marijuana law proposed by the Department of Public Health and Environment.  In particular, they are considering limiting the number of patients a caregiver can assist to five.  Currently, caregivers in Colorado can assist however many patients need their help, which makes it far easier for patients to find a suitable caregiver and maintain safe access to a reliable supply of medicine.

Could you imagine going into a pharmacy to pick up a medication that your doctor said you need, only to have the pharmacist say, "Sorry, we're already helping five patients and cannot take on any more?"  If you agree this is ridiculous and would like to help defend Colorado's medical marijuana program, please take one or both of the following actions.

Sensible Colorado is organizing an effort against the imposition of these harmful new rules, which is receiving national support from Americans for Safe Access (ASA) and the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP).
