It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.

Welcome to Colorado CHRONIX Medicinal Cannabis Community, one of the most in-depth,  patient support, activism and medical marijuana reform websites, and Medical Marijuana Cooperative Collectives serving Colorado since 2007  (establishing the Colorado CHRONIX website online in early 2008).

RECENT STUDIES - AUGUST, 2011

(BELOW)  The picture of a patient which I recently took on 08/02/2011, illustrates the typical initial onset of a 'pilonidal cyst' on a patient. Painful cysts such as these are common in patients who are bed-bound & forced to lie in any one position, for more than several hours at a time, or as the result of a chronically ingrown hair in that region.  This photo was taken immediately after the patient began having pain in that region and noticed the typical 'bump' which is generally located right at the base of the tailbone (coccyx).

Five days shortly thereafter, on 08/07/2011 as you can see below, the cyst began to become extremely inflamed and most obviously, very painful for the patient:

                             FOUR DAYS AFTER APPLYING HEMP OIL..:

* NO DANGEROUS, SURGICALLY INVASIVE INTERVENTION WAS REQUIRED. *

...Cannabis' stunning anti-inflammatory efficacies, it would most certainly appear, are quite markedly obvious. 

But don't just trust me, or don't even trust your own eyes from seeing the above pictured data for that matter. 

Trust the government.  (Ahem), yes, ours.

It's actually no wonder, especially when you see the above example of results that patients are achieving themselves with Hemp Oil (which you must be a licensed MMJ patient or caregiver to legally use or dispense to your own patients and NOT to be confused with commercial over-the-counter Hempseed Oil), that our own US Government took out it's very own patent on cannabinoids (one of the naturally occurring substances in the cannabis plant), for their use as antioxidants in treating ischemic, age-related inflammatory autoimmune diseases and are have been discovered to have particular applications as neuroprotectants, in limiting the often devastating neurological damage following such ischemic insults as strokes, trauma, or to be used in the treatment of such horrendously devastating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia.

It is very important for all responsibly involved mmj patients to carefully review the various groups who have all filed 2011 ballot initiatives recently, as it is their policies will ultimately be the ones that dictate the future of cannabis regulation in Colorado.

RECENT 09/01/2011:  Thanks to our relationship with our friends at the highly acclaimed MedicalSeedbank.com, all Colorado CHRONIX Members are eligible for our 20% medical discount coupon code to use on any genetics you choose from their vast array of phenomenal strains...!  Interested patient members e-mail DOC for the most currently valid coupon code.
 
There are plenty of educational opportunities inside, if you are so inclined, to observe as DOC uses three different forms of computerized digital microscopy to literally take you inside the plant, & elaborate never-before revealed growing methodology & techniques for legal patients...! All of which to help you to more fully understand the inner workings of this botanical miracle,  as it continues to become legal in more & more states (nearly twenty now) due to its highly reported successful medicinal roles as a much, much safer analgesic alternative than narcotic prescription painkillers or even (and especially) Tylenol  -It is estimated that acetaminophen (Tylenol) poisoning results in at least 56000 injuries, 25000 hospitalizations, and 450 deaths every year & the U.S. Acute Liver Failure Study Group found that acetaminophen poisoning is the leading cause of liver failure in the nation, accounting for approximately half of all cases. Some of these instances of liver failure occur even when following the dosage recommendations printed on the bottle...!  

Find out how DOC went from analog (regular) cigarettes to digital (electronic nicotine atomizers or more commonly - 'e-cigarettes') and quit smoking 2.5 packs daily, on the same day...   Additionally, a 'digital', or e-cigarette uses no tobacco or flaming, burning products to inhale, just nicotine, flavoring and water vapor that both feels & tastes like the real thing - with no lingering odors or second-hand smoke (since there's no first-hand smoke to begin with) so the devices can be puffed on literally*anywhere*.  It can also be freely utilized regularly in local restaurants, office buildings and shopping centers like Wal-Mart, etc. with virtually no problems, since cigarette laws do not pertain to them and reiterating, they emit no smoke, just harmless water vapor.  It is far more affordable than the cancerous tobacco cigarettes, as well.  Highly recommended for all those who enjoy vaping (whether it be high, medium , low, or even no nicotine) and the devices also work excellent for medicating with your favorite hash oil.  We have been impressed with the great service we get from www.NicotineNirvana.com myself, so much so that we've listed them as a sponsor. 

Read more inside about our 'unofficial' case study of the effects of cannabis-extracted Hemp Oil on a patient with multiple cancers, brain and liver tumors (including a variety of different, more potent alternatives to Hemp Oil preparations & all other (some little known) forms of essential oil extractions)...!  

Also inside Colorado CHRONIX, learn which strains of cannabis work better for certain conditions.  DOC recommends using & gives a shout of kudos out to www.Leafly.com for their interactive Periodical Table of Cannabis, where you can simply press which buttons that best correspond with your own unique medical symptoms, and Leafly.com's proprietary system will give you an immediate best recommendation by suggesting for the strain that matches you most, according to your inputted needs.  You've really got to check it out for yourself.

All legal patients in the state of Colorado should have access to a large variety of Medicinal Strains, Edibles, Rooted Clones, Seeds, Security, etc., simply ask and we can point you in the right direction...!

Discover safer methods for patients who wish to learn the art of extracting Hemp Oil from cannabis (which is NOT available in stores & NOT to be confused with commercially produced Hempseed Oil, which while healthy and available for over-the-counter sale - is NOT the same by ANY means) for medicinal purposes and much, much more.

The Obama Administration has publicly stated that our government will not continue to persecute/prosecute medical patients in states that have enacted their own voter-supported mmj laws, although they still refuse to deal with the issue on a Federal level and as such, ethically controversial raids on entities who provide patients with safer access to their medicine are currently still ensuing. 

It's time to end the needless suffering and expose the 'actual truths' about this herb that soothes so many's pain, yet gets so many others needlessly thrown into our already overcrowded prison system for. 

We sincerely thank the states who have their own voter-enacted medical marijuana laws.  Overflowing gratitude to the compassionate states who allow it and urgent pleas go out on behalf of all those suffering and forced by whatever personal constraints they may have, to reside within the non-compassionate ones who currently do not.

There is (currently) no, under any circumstances, exemption from criminal liability with regards to medical marijuana under Federal Law until such time as the federal government inevitably bows to the Will of The People and reschedules cannabis as the accepted medicine it already is, and has been used as, for thousands of years... 

How I Became a Cannabis Patient

I worked assisting in the operating room as a surgical technician/first assistant for most of my adult life before one night after leaving the hospital, I stopped at a convenience store when suddenly I found myself being shot point-blank in the chest, an innocent victim of a violent crime. 

I first applied for Social Security Disability in 2004 and have been battling the corrupt system, which was more than happy to *take* my money for years, having just recently been denied for my third and final appeal - since I am a legal medicinal cannabis patient.

The Crime Victim's Compensation Fund, yet another governmental entity operating under the guise of assisting people who truly need help -without discrimination - actually regularly discriminates with reckless abandon, as illustrated by their most recent letter to me, which included the following disturbingly biased statement:

'... catastrophic funds are not available for ongoing medical care which includes, but is not limited to, doctor appointments, prescriptions to include narcotic and non-narcotic analgesics, medical marijuana, hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, and the purchase and cultivation of marijuana plants.'   

Honestly, I'm curious as to what exactly it is that they *do* cover, for crime victims who have been completely incapacitated.  

The bullet is still lodged over my left lung and causes chronic burning & pain with deep, tortuous muscle spasms, along with various other symptoms rendered by the neuropathic damage I received as the victim of violent crime. However, it also does give me the unfortunate ability to relate & sympathize to a great degree with the numerous other seriously ill patients going through many of the same or similar circumstances in their own lives, and is the reason I originally set up Colorado CHRONIX. 

If not for the guidance of phenomenal people such as Keith Stroup, founder of NORML, and other influential leaders within this industry that  I have been  blessed to meet throughout my journey, it would not have been possible to help all of the people that I have been able to help, and to them I am forever grateful.  Some of the kindest people you will ever meet, you will find working to further the cause of legally utilizing cannabis for it's numerously multifaceted applications.

Currently, due to my worsening neuralgia and associated other complications secondary to having this bullet located in my chest, I have not been able to be nearly as active in the Movement as I was when first helping patients back in 2007, but do keep Colorado CHRONIX and the website, with all of its information up & going as much as I can, as well as beginning to bring on several new Assistant Organizers to help keep things interesting with the constantly changing new information that we, as Colorado patients and/or caregivers, are being constantly deluged with. 

It has always been my wish to assist both new & old patients alike as I have been so fortunate to have done, with their own explorations into the legal medicinal usage of cannabis, since without the usage of this naturally-occurring plants substances myself, I and countless others who legally find it to be an incomparable, peaceful solace in the throes of their illnesses would have literally no quality of life whatsoever.

Please do not hesitate to send any inquiries to me at any time and I will do my best to continue to assist all mmj patients, in whatever capacity that I can.
