Medical Marijuana That Isn't Medical

Letter to the Editor
We already have recreational disguised as medical. Anyone can get a card by stating they have a medical need.
Card holder is entitled to have 5.25 lbs total of marijuana products each and every day ( 11 oz of loose - smokeable; 1 oz oils and 72 oz - 4.5 lbs - of consumables, plus 6 mature plants - and 6 seedlings).  This amount (as stated publicly to the legislative committee by one of the state question authors) represented the worst case scenario amount of a 30 day supply for a terminal cancer patient.
And yet the legislature let that stand as an each and every day legal amount to possess! Possession of that much loose in Colorado would be a felony charge of intent to distribute!
It’s ludicrous!!
