State Representative STEVE LEBSOCK Colorado State Capitol 200 East Colfax Avenue, Room' 30? Denver, Colorado 80203 Of?ce: 303-866-2931 Chair: Local Government Committee Member: Agriculture, Livestock, Natural Resources Committee COLORADO HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES State Capitol Denver 80203 Governor John Hickenlooper 200 E. Colfax Ave Denver, CO 80203 Governor Hickenlooper, We are writing you today to express our disappointment with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. There is no excuse for the state government to be 6,000 licenses behind in processing medical marijuana cards, causing patients to wait 6-8 weeks for their medicine. Without medical marijuana cards our Colorado patients are unable to get the medicine they need. patients, cancer patients, children with epilepsy and many others have been adversely effected by the department?s negleetful disregard for patients. We urge you to get personally involved to correct this injustice. Sincerely, State Representative ovan Melt Cc: Dr. Larry Wolk, Executive Director of Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
