9Wants to Know has uncovered evidence that hundreds of people are buying medical marijuana with forged or fraudulent paperwork and the state of Colorado can do little to stop the fraud.
A two-month investigation reveals people posing as medical professionals, forging and selling doctors’ signatures, and some doctors with restricted medical licenses, are signing medical marijuana applications.
Experts say the forgery and fraud is happening because the state has a huge backlog of applications and cannot examine the documents quickly or carefully enough.
Doctor Phil Nguyen of Happy Clinic Denver said is one of five doctors 9Wants to Know interviewed who has had their signatures copied or forged. Nguyen has seen at least 15 medical marijuana applications from patients he has never examined, yet each has his signature on them.
