HB 18-1263

House Bill 18-1263, which has been signed into law, allows people with autism spectrum disorders to use medical marijuana if they have a doctor's recommendation. This bill also continues to support the use of medical marijuana for acute pain. It affects individuals diagnosed with autism and those suffering from severe pain who are eligible under Colorado’s medical marijuana program. Since it is signed, this means that the law is now in effect and people can start using medical marijuana for these conditions if they meet the requirements set by their healthcare providers and state regulations.
