Appointment info and answers to the questions we hear most from medical marijuana patients.
How long does the visit take?
Online visits are scheduled for 30 minutes. In-person visits take a full hour for appointments, and an hour and a half for walk-in patients. There is about 20 minutes of paperwork for both new patients and renewals, a 15-minute consultation with a cannabis professional, 10–20 minutes with the doctor, and about 10 minutes for copies and check-out.
Bringing medical records related to your condition can speed up the process, as can filling out medical history forms in advance.
Do I need medical records?
For patients age 18 and older we do not require medical records in most cases — but we do prefer them, so do your best to get them. We accept records from both conventional providers (MD or DO, hospital, urgent care, x-rays, MRI report, etc.) and alternative providers (chiropractor, acupuncture, nutritionists, physical therapy, massage therapy, etc.). If you are taking or have taken prescription medications for your condition, please bring in the bottles.
What if I use edibles or need more plants?
We do write Increased Plant Counts for qualified patients, at the doctor’s discretion. There is additional paperwork and an additional fee for this service. Our maximum count is 24.
Am I required to pick a dispensary?
No. Healthy Choices Unlimited is an independent evaluation clinic, not associated with any one dispensary or care group. You may designate a dispensary or not, at your choice.
What are caregiver rights?
Caregiver rights is the assignment of your plants to a Caregiver or dispensary (also called a Medical Marijuana Center). A Caregiver is an individual who grows plants for your medicinal use, or who purchases and transports cannabis for you if you are homebound. Healthy Choices Unlimited does not take your caregiver rights, nor do we recommend any particular caregiver, dispensary, or MMJ center.
I don’t have a Colorado ID. Can I still be considered?
You can only join the Colorado Medical Marijuana Registry without a Colorado ID one time. Renewals must have a Colorado ID.
New state rules make joining with an out-of-state ID more difficult. New patients need both a valid driver’s license or ID from any US state, and a passport or passport card, military ID, Medicaid/Medicare card, or Social Security card. You will also need to complete a Residency Waiver form and show two documents (with your name and Colorado address, dated within the last 60 days) proving you live in Colorado.
