State lawmakers tasked with finding a compromise on a bill that regulates medical-marijuana doctors and patients will meet Thursday to consider a proposal to make it tougher for a greater swath of young people to get a marijuana recommendation, one of the bill’s sponsors said Tuesday.
State Sen. Chris Romer, D-Denver, said the group of lawmakers, known as a conference committee, will consider requiring anyone younger than 23 to get two doctors’ recommendations before being allowed to use marijuana medicinally. Romer had previously said he would push the committee to adopt a requirement that people under 21 first get a substance- abuse evaluation before being able to get a doctor’s note for marijuana.
