Patients battling Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis and other disorders sometimes use marijuana to ease pain or the side effects of treatment.

A new Therapeutic Herbal Center will soon open in Grand Junction. Owners hope to bring relief to those suffering from challenging diseases and disorders.

The businesses will only work with patients who have legitimate medical needs. Marijuana will only be given to patients who have a doctors recommendation and a valid medical marijuana card issued by the State of Colorado.

"We're just trying to let people know that they can get their medicine. Also, we are here to help whoever doesn't know how to obtain a card. They can come to us, give us their medical records, we can actually get them in contact with a doctor," Co-owner Gregg Davis explains.

Davis says his product is closely monitored and is completely organic. He also says patients can get the medicine in whatever form works best for their unique needs.

"You can pretty much put it in anything. You can put it in tea or oil. We're going to also offer creams, so, kind of like an Icy Hot. you can put it on you injury and rub it in," Davis says.

In November of 2000, Colorado voters approved Amendment 20. This allows patients with debilitating medical conditions to use marijuana under the supervision of a doctor.

Permit holders are allowed to have up to two ounces of marijuana for medical purposes, and have up to 6 plants. Three can be in vegetative growth and three may be flowering.

Marijuana is still illegal under federal law, even if you live in a state that allows use for medicinal purposes.
