COLORADO MARIJUANA REGISTRY APS HIT 1,000 PER DAY
DENVER - Applications for Colorado's medical marijuana registry have
nearly quadrupled from a year ago, with the state's health department
receiving about 1,000 applications per workday.
The flood of applications from people registering with the state to
legally use medical marijuana has led to a backlog of six months
between application and issuance of a license.
Health officials are seeking funding to add temporary workers to help
with the backlog.
In a statement, the state health department said it would no longer
review applications submitted to its walk-up window for accuracy.
