Medical Marijuana Access Eases

The Rocky Mountain News has word on a recent ruling in Denver, CO that will make it easier to obtain medical Marijuana in Colorado.
The ruling endorses a settlement reached between the health department and attorneys for AIDS patient Damien LaGoy, who sued after his caregiver request was denied in May based on the five-patient rule.

The denial forced him to buy marijuana on the street, LaGoy said.

"I was in a very dangerous situation," LaGoy said at a news conference Monday. "I was trying to get medical marijuana from some of the darkest spots in town, risking my life at times. I actually have been robbed once trying to find medical marijuana. Also, you never know what you're getting."
In states without medical Marijuana programs, patients are forced to get their medicine on the streets, is that what our government really wants? Colorado has been moving forward in regard to their treatment of medical Marijuana patients, kudos to them. Are there any readers in Denver or in Colorado in general who have stories about mmj access?
