It's been an open secret for years. The Denver Post published stats a couple years ago that showed that around 80% of the red card holders in CO were men age 25 and younger. If you remember from the health care debate, this is the healthiest population around.
It was dead simple to get a red card - go into one of the many shops advertising an on site doc, complain of chronic back pain (or PTSD if a veteran), and there you go. The hardest problem was finding a shop taking new patients, as the MMJ law capped the number of patients per provider.
