Telemedicine in Colorado has increased access to care for millions of people during the pandemic.
The temporary provisions meant patients were able to see a physician from the comfort of their home, making it a much safer and more convenient option for those who face barriers such as distance (especially those in rural areas), transportation, or caretaker availability.
The temporary provisions made to the Medical Marijuana Program expired in July 2021. This means:
- Telemedicine/Telehealth Doctor Certifications is now be prohibited.
- Patients have lost the access to the care they need.
- Patients with chronic conditions, who are immunocompromised and face barriers such as distance and transportation, will suffer the most.
Sign the petition today to ask Governor Polis to make Telemedicine/Telehealth a permanent option for patients in Colorado.

Living in the mountains makes getting to the city for a simple checkup a nightmare. Why go back to the old way when this actually works for us?
As an at risk immunocompromised seniorI find this poorly thought out and discriminatory. Ageism and politics are a poor substitute for carefully thought out, helpful and safe legislation. Governor you have just lost my vote!
This is an important service to keep patients and providers safe, and keep appointments accessible.
Cannabis patients deserve the same rights as people receiving other medical services!
This is such a valuable service which improves access and allows individuals to obtain the medicine they need.
Free leaf for all
Keep Leafwell going!!!
