Medical marijuana lawyer: Health dept. can't deny cards over physician assistants

Category: News | Posted on Fri, December, 16th 2011 by THCFinder

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has announced that it may deny thousands of medical marijuana applications over questions about whether physician assistants did exams -- a policy CDPHE's Dr. Chris Urbina reiterated in a recent interview. But MMJ lawyer Rob Corry calls the action improper and argues that the department is tossing the applications too late.

The CDPHE put the applications on hold, some for months, after staffers noticed that certain medical marijuana recommendation forms featured signatures of both doctors and physician assistants. If the latter actually performed the examination leading to a recommendation, the department believes this action would violate state law calling for a bona fide relationship between doctors and MMJ patients. If that's proven to be the case, the CDPHE will deem such applications fraudulent and deny them. If there's ambiguity over the question of who did the exam, the applications will be rejected.

This distinction is important. Patients whose applications are denied will have to wait six months to reapply, even if they've already been stuck in limbo for months, due to a clause in Amendment 20, the measure that legalized medical marijuana in Colorado. In contrast, patients whose applications are rejected can reapply right away, and additional fees will be waived.

Why use the term "denied" in some cases and "rejected" in others? Doesn't that punish some patients more severely than others without regard to whether they bear any responsibility or blame for the recommendation form issue? When asked this question, Dr. Urbina insisted that he was following the letter of the law, even though no document we've been able to find explains the distinction between "denied" and "rejected" the CDPHE is using.

Dutch DELAY plan to weed out tourists

Category: News | Posted on Fri, December, 16th 2011 by THCFinder

The Dutch government is delaying plans to ban tourists from buying marijuana until at least next May, although it still intends to curtail the country's famed tolerance policy.

Cannabis is technically illegal in the Netherlands, but police turn a blind eye to possession of small amounts and it is sold openly in designated cafes known euphemistically as ''coffee shops''. Large-scale growers are prosecuted.

Among other measures, the cabinet wants to introduce a ''weed pass'' system that allows only legal residents of the Netherlands to buy marijuana.

Justice Minister Ivo Opstelten said a trial in southern cities planned for next month would be delayed until May because of practical difficulties.

Supporters hope it will solve problems caused by about 3.9 million French, German and Belgian buyers who drive across the Dutch border each year just to buy the drug.

Mr Opstelten said the pass system would be applied nationwide in 2013, despite some opposition. ''Coffee shop'' owners say it will violate privacy laws, since it will require them to store passport and other information about customers.

Some southern cities have begun lobbying against the plan after predictions that it would result in street dealers taking over the marijuana trade again, as it was three decades ago when the tolerance policy was introduced.

''If it appears that additional [police] support is necessary, I will ensure that it's available in a timely manner,'' Mr Opstelten said.

The city of Amsterdam also opposes the pass plan, because it would mean the closure of about half the city's ''coffee shops''. It says nearly a quarter of the tourists who visit to smoke weed stay several nights and contribute to the economy rather than cause problems.
