In Colorado you pay to go to the physician who is entitled to write the presriptions and pay for what they call the red card/pharmacy card allowing you to purchase your medical marijuana from an actual dispensary which is set up like a pharmacy as well what most people dont know or dont want to ask or speculate. Also your product comes out in a closed/sealed bag/container. Hope this was helpful. Spent so much money which I'd do again my husband and I both have ours however had to move back home to GA for my health and be closer to family which makes things difficult for me. Study RSO/ Rick Simpson oil aka Phoenix Tears study more for children but helping me very much for anyone who cares to take notes...prayers to you all. Much love still trying to understand everyday myself. As I'm a cosmetologist and want to get back at it and nervous. Love doing 💇 though and make-up. May be concentrate on my weddings and special functions more?
