Check the laws idiot. Caffeine, and sugar are legal, as is ETOH, in the appropriate levels.

Maybe you Socialists want to make caffeine and sugar illegal too.

Looks like you and i didn't communicate.

In SoCal, I've met many self medicating mentally ill who have gone through being hospitalized and are legally disabled, on disability and they DO still use drugs.

It sounded to me like Colorado would refuse to consider their mental illness when looking at them due to the drug use.

?????

If a person is a known drug user, his chance of getting approved in the first place is slim. If he develops a problem after being diagnosed, he can be sent to rehab in an effort to help him with his secondary and after the fact diagnoses.

ASIDE
I'd like to point out Bluesky's Reaction to being misunderstood is commendable.
Instead of getting all pissy and personal, Bluesky further clarified his/her question/point.
Well played.

Sorry, sometimes I have mild brain blips. I didn't understand what you were asking. My understanding is that Colorado wil look at the big picture as long as your addiction occurred after you became disabled. They will treat people for dual diagnosis.
