The individual possesses the right to produce their own medicine, as well as utilize it in the manner that best meets their needs. Empowering the patient encourages them to take control of their own healing. With our focus on health care, we offer the patient a variety of options to manage their illness.

Natural therapies can be both an effective alternative, and complimentary to allopathic medicine. Natural therapies must be available to everyone who desires to incorporate them in a healthy lifestyle- not just to those who have expendable income. We provide and advocate for access to a wide variety of cannabis strains, methods of delivery and models of distribution. We do not engage in research that involves animal testing, nor support patenting of life forms.

The work we do at Colorado Alternative Medicine (CAM) and the services we provide are a reflection of our core values:.

Compassion

The time has come to address the issue of medicinal marijuana as an alternative to some of the potentially harmful tools of allopathic medicine. We believe the individual is the primary authority when it comes to making personal health care decisions, and should be afforded the option of medicinal cannabis.

Efficacy

Cannabis is an important therapeutic plant that must be readily accessible. Cannabis provides effective relief for persons living with critical and chronic illnesses such as Cancer, HIV, Glaucoma, Multiple Sclerosis, chronic pain and anxiety. Cannabis is also an effective harm reduction tool.Alternative Solutions. We plan to provide Cannabis and other natural therapies because they are important alternatives to some of the potentially harmful tools of allopathic medicine.

Consensus Decision Making

We utilize consensus decision-making as an alternative to hierarchical structures because consensus empowers the individual and the community. We serve as a working model of these alternative solutions.ManagedHealth Care.The individual is the primary authority when it comes to making personal health care decisions, including the decision to use Cannabis medicinally.

Vision

We envision a world in which cannabis and other natural homeopathic therapies are readily accessible and socially supported. Patients will be legally protected and regulated in a manner that is consistent with the highest standard of care. We believe in a time when those who use, produce or distribute these medicines will be free from legal, social and political sanctions. Finally, we strive to take responsibility for our individual, collective and environmental health while honoring the diversity in each other as well as the natural world.
