FAQ

What do I need to do for my Colorado Medical Registry (Red) Card?

Please make sure to follow these steps completely, as any mistake on your form could lead to waiting for months for your card. Download the Application for Colorado Registry Card and complete as follows:

1. You must be an established resident of Colorado, and will be required to show proof of identity and Colorado residency when submitting this application. Page 2 of the Application provides details on the forms needed to prove Colorado residency for the CDPHE.
2. Visit any doctor who performs medical marijuana evaluations and have them complete the “Physician Certification” portion of the application. Most medical marijuana doctors will already carry all the forms you need to submit, and many will even notarize your application during your visit. Do NOT cross out any information on your application, as this will delay the processing of your application.
3. Complete the “Application for Registration Card,” then sign and date it in front of a Notary of Colorado.

Can I consume marijuana inside a smoke-friendly hotel room or on a hotel balcony?

It is up to each hotel if they choose to allow marijuana smoke to be consumed in their smoking rooms (the “Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act” limits all smoking to at most 25 percent of rooms). Make sure to ask the hotel if they allow it. Denver city laws prohibit marijuana consumption on hotel balconies if visible from any public place.
