ACTION ITEM – SB23-081 Testimony CANCELLED – EMAIL INSTEAD<\/h1>\n

As you know, last years’ shocking new law stripping cannabis doctors of diagnosing autonomy and attempting to force a prescriptive model on physicians caused devastation in the world of Colorado medical Cannabis. We have a roll-back bill before the legislature now.\u00a0 Unfortunately, big money anti-medical cannabis political action committees have killed the bill without a hearing for now. So, we need everyone emailing the Senate Health and Human Services Committee talking about impacts to you and your community. \u00a0 Email addresses are listed below.<\/p>\n

\n
As you create your emails and testimony, please keep these things in mind. Here are Muffy’s letter to the Committee\u00a0 CCC-Letter-Support-SB23-081<\/a> and Talking-Points-for-Doctors-SB23-081-2023<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
*Total purchase \u00a0limits set by previous legislation is not changed.\u00a0 The only change allows a patient to treat their therapy like therapy and lets them purchase more than a couple days worth at a time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
*The new bill *Keeps the guard-rails on for 18-20 year old patients*. It does not<\/strong> increase access for healthy children.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
*Over 14,000 patients lost access just last year, with 32% of patients under 17 losing therapy. (Dec 21-Dec 22 registry statistics)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
*Liability to our physicians was increased so dramatically that we lost 28% of recommending physicians in 2022.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
*Uniform Certification Form purchasing exemptions aren\u2019t being honored by dispensaries confused by new rules.<\/div>\n
