Medical Marijuana in New Mexico.

[Voice for Peace]

6. I haven't had that impression at all -- the process is simple & straightforward

but you do need medical backup for whatever ails you,
and if it falls under the qualifying conditions, it takes
about a month for the paperwork to be processed by
the health dept and mmj card issue.

Qualification for PTSD was recently challenged here,
but for the time being it's still covered -- although
they have a new requirement that PTSD card-
carriers must have a medical assessment every
6 months.

I've talked with some of the people at the various
'dispensaries' about the legal issues, eg what's
been happening in California. The program here
is apparently being tightly controlled, you're
right. And they are fighting to be allowed to increase
grow limits, so patients don't run out of medicine.

If people have an authentic qualifying condition
there are doctors who will help them obtain
medical mj cards. You can also get a license to
grow your own.

There is a lot of local support, I think, and
people working diligently to keep it legal and
safe,and keep patients supplied and aware
of their rights. I have been very happy and
impressed with the people who are growing
and selling. Good people, good medicine.
