FAQs

Q: How do I become a care-giver?
A: The only way to become a care-giver is to have a patient list you as such.

Registered medical marijuana patients may select one adult (age eighteen years or older) resident of Colorado to be their primary care-giver. The selection is documented either on the patient’s original application form or on a change of care-giver form.

Effective August 30, 2009, the Registry will no longer be sending revised registration cards solely on the basis of a change of care-giver.

A patient may change care-givers at any time for any reason.
A patient is not required to have a care-giver. It is an option for the patient.
It is up to the patient to notify a person that the patient has removed them as a care-giver. The Registry does not send any notice to the care-giver. There is no separate registration process for care-givers. There is no separate application form for the care-giver.
The Registry does not maintain a listing of individuals interested in becoming a care-giver.
A patient may not be their own care-giver.
The patient’s physician may not be their care-giver.
The care-giver must be a person, not a business, corporation, etc.
There is no specific training or other requirement the care-giver must meet other than being selected by a patient. o EXCEPTION: For patients who are less than 18 years of age, the primary care-giver must be a parent residing in Colorado.

If a patient lists you as their care-giver, the Registry recommends that you retain:

1. A copy of the registration card listing you as the care-giver; OR

2. A copy of the application form or change of care-giver form that lists you as the care-giver, AND

3. A copy of proof of mailing the forms to the Registry.

Q: Is it secure to order Medical Marijuana online?
A: We only do business with the most reputable companies, and as such, we have chosen Paypal to use as our merchant services because of their dedication to privacy as well as security.

Q: Is it Legal?
A: Ammendent 20 has provided protection to Doctors, Patients, and Caregivers. The protections include prescriptions, possession, consumption and agricultural rights to cultivate for patient use.

Q: How do I decide who I should name as my caregiver?
A: We recommend that you first assess what your needs are going to be. Then, find a relationship-driven dispensary that can act as your caregiver by offering free advice and lending an ear when you have questions. They should also be able to meet your medication needs derived from your self assessment.

Q: What makes Colorado Medical different than your competitors?
A: We strive for perfection, as impossible as it is. We pride ourselves on delivering an unmatched service of consistent quality, secure shopping with reliable delivery, and all of our employees are also patients, so we are always available to discuss questions that may be completely unrelated to products or services. We are a for profit company, but we are also concerned with well being and strengthening the quality of life in general for the community. We appreciate the opportunity to serve the public.

Q: How long does my order take to get delivered?
A: Your order should be delivered within 3-5 days

Q: Is the delivery discreet?
A: Yes, your delivery will arrive in a professional package with the name Colorados on the outside.

Q: What if Im not home for the delivery.
A: You do not need to be home after you have registered with us. We deliver packages to the Colorado doorstep of the registered patient without signature.
