Bill	Medical Marijuana Condition Opiates Prescribed For	Medical marijuana - disabling medical conditions - conditions for which a physician could prescribe an opioid. The act adds a condition for which a physician could prescribe an opioid to the list of disabling medical conditions that authorize a person to use medical marijuana for his or her condition. Under current law, a child under 18 years of age who wants to be added to the medical marijuana registry for a disabling medical condition must be diagnosed as having a disabling medical condition by 2 physicians, one of whom must be a board-certified pediatrician, a board-certified family physician, or a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist who attests that he or she is part of the patient's primary care provider team. The act removes the additional requirements on specific physicians to align with the constitutional provisions for a debilitating medical condition. The act states if the recommending physician is not the patient's primary care physician, the recommending physician shall review the records of a diagnosing physician or a licensed mental health provider acting within its scope of practice. The act limits a patient with a disabling medical condition who is under eighteen years of age to using medical marijuana only in a nonsmokeable form when using medical marijuana upon the grounds of the preschool or primary or secondary school in which the student is enrolled, or upon a school bus or at a school-sponsored event.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2019A	SB 19-013	Colorado SB 19-013 (2019A)	bill		enacted	Edie Hooton Joann Ginal Kim Ransom Vicki Marble	10	17	5	2019-01-04T07:00:00+00:00	2019-05-23T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/5cd4ec22-3784-4123-93f5-d70821beabf8	http://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb19-013	3f4e7813455b410e680753089fa667d4486ba41c09db5f797c5cac9d684c9ef0	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co
