"As a person with MS, I have horrible, painful muscle spasms from the waist-down. So much so, that it's confined me to a wheelchair. A friend of mine, and fellow MS sufferer, told me about the pain-relief effects of medical cannabis. Despite my initial skepticism, I gave it a try. While I find the effects not necessarily euphoric, it does allow me to stretch my legs out straight, either sitting on the floor or lying in bed -- it's a great muscle-relaxant."

Ft. Collins, Colorado Medical Marijuana Patients

Fort Collins medical marijuana patients' rights are protected by Colorado's Amendment 20, which gives patients with certain symptoms and conditions an affirmative defense against arrest and/or prosecution under the state's criminal laws related to the patient's medical use of marijuana. One in ten Colorado medical marijuana users live in Larimer County. Fort Collins is the largest city in Larimer County, with a population of 118,652. A total of 762 individuals in Larimer County are registered with the state of Colorado to legally use medicinal marijuana.

Who Can Use Medical Marijuana In Fort Collins?

Fort Collins, like all of Colorado, limits legal medical marijuana use to patients who have met certain requirements and become registered medical marijuana patients by submitting an application, application fee, and doctor's recommendation to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. As of May 31, 2009, there were a total of 7,630 registered medical marijuana patients in Colorado.

Conditions that may make a patient eligible to legally use medical marijuana in Fort Collins include cancer, glaucoma, and HIV/AIDS. You also may be eligible to use medical marijuana in Colorado if your symptoms include cachexia, severe nausea, severe pain, seizures, or persistent muscle spasms, even if your primary condition causing these symptoms is not an approved condition. Patients who suffer these symptoms as a result of treatment for another condition also may be eligible. Finally, if your condition or symptoms aren't listed, a petition process exists in order to add conditions and symptoms to the approved list. However, all such petitions since the adoption of Amendment 20 have been denied.


How to Obtain Medical Marijuana in Fort Collins

Under Colorado law, patients including those in Fort Collins may grow their own medical marijuana so long as they do not possess more than the legal limit of no more than two ounces of usable marijuana and no more than six living marijuana plants, with no more than three of the plants mature, flowering, and capable of producing marijuana. A patient's designated medical marijuana caregiver can grow medical marijuana for the patient, within the same quantity limits. No legal provision is made for how patients or caregivers can obtain marijuana seeds in order to begin growing.

Why Choose a Medical Marijuana Dispensary?

A full-service dispensary, such as those operated by Pain Management of Colorado, can streamline the application process to become a registered Fort Collins medical marijuana user. Once a patient is approved, his or her chosen dispensary can assist with caregiver selection. In addition, a dispensary may provide for the ongoing management of the patient's care, by a physician experienced with the patient's condition and with the use of medical marijuana to treat that condition or its syptoms. Pain Management of Colorado's dispensaries provide patients with the highest quality medical grade marijuana, containing the high concentrations of beneficial cannabinoids necessary for optimal medical benefit.

Medical marijuana patients find that dispensaries offer convenience, knowledgeable staff, and a supportive environment. The experienced individuals who work in dispensaries are particularly valuable to new patients exploring the benefits of medical marijuana and navigating the regulatory maze that goes along with its use.
