Colorado has had legal recreational marijuana for years now, but that doesn’t mean you should skip the doctor’s visit. Sharp patients take advantage of all the resources available to them, including medical services and dispensaries. Learn how the Colorado patient experience can benefit you as a Colorado Springs citizen.
Patients who don’t have a medical marijuana card, also known as a “red card” in Colorado, may have to go out of town to buy cannabis. Although the state permits private marijuana activities for adults, cities can ban retail sales. While Colorado Springs lets medical cannabis dispensaries do business within city limits, they don’t let adult-use stores operate.
This situation leaves non-cardholders with only two options: Grow their own marijuana or travel out of town.
