In November of 2000, voters of the state of Colorado passed Amendment 20 to the state's constitution, effectively legalizing medical marijuana. Since then, the Colorado Board of Health and Environment (CDPHE) have created a set of rules and regulations relating to medical use of marijuana. These rules create a confidential statewide registry of medical marijuana patients and caregivers with Identification cards for all registered patients. Any patient with a valid registry card may legally use marijuana for medicinal purposes and their caregiver, if one should exist, may assist them in doing so.
Under Amendment 20, patients, as well as primary and alternate caregivers, have an affirmative defense to criminal prosecution under the state's marijuana laws. Physicians are also protected against any kind of punishment for advising a patient about medical marijuana or providing a patient with a signed statement allowing them to be included in the state's medical marijuana registry.
