WOW....
I have been off the forum for a couple of days and I must say things have degenerated to an area where people are REALLY ANGRY.
One thing I have learned in life is not to discuss politics, religion, etc.....It tends to make people uncomfortable and can create divides that are hard to bridge.
For everyone....please take it elsewhere if you have comments that are not helpful to the posts.
Chance, I have NO earthly idea why this thread got so off track in the first place. TotahSam is 100% correct that the comments you made were pretty harsh. I would suggest some modicum of decorum here.
With regard to your initial post....I would suggest giving the NMDOH a call, email or visit to find out if your situation is valid for use of MMJ.
A link to the NM DOH website that should help is:
Medical Cannabis Program - Infectious Disease Bureau (http://www.health.state.nm.us/idb/medical_cannabis.shtml)
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is one of the conditions that is approved to be treated with MMJ.
Here is the contact information if you need it:
If you have questions, please contact the Medical Cannabis Program Staff at (505) 827-2321 or email
[email protected]
The staff in Santa Fe has been very helpful in answering all of my questions.
I also suggest that you take a look at "Granny Storm Crow's" list of resources that can help you find the information you may be looking for....

Medication can cause some SERIOUS issues. Trust me I am experiencing this on a daily basis. Chance, I may have some insight into the problems you are dealing with and I truly wish that you can find some help for them. My "frustration level" is through the roof and can try to understand why you are looking for answers immediately. Sometimes, though, answers take a bit of time to get. Please do us all a favor and try the "ten minute" rule and review what you are going to post before hitting "submit reply".
CoolSlayer, I am also a person that has trouble at times trying to understand your one-word responses (probably an issue on my end as I am VERY new to the site). I really appreciate your help here on the forum....many folks do! I just have some trouble trying to interpret what you say at times. Not in a bad way, just confusing for me, I am a fairly new guy to the world of internet forums and I know that sometimes people's comments are taken out of context without having the personal interaction that the internet does not afford. Please keep assisting the folks here!!!
SO I will go back to my world of researching, learning, corresponding in the hopes that I will be able to "give back" what I learn...pay it forward concept.
I hope that people can let "bygones be bygones" and start anew.
TotahSam, I completely understand your issue with what Chance stated...do not let that prevent you from posting in the future whatsoever. I for one appreciate your posts. I take offense to things that people say at times and am working on trying to comprehend what is stated without getting to upset. You have a right to be upset with the comment stated, but I would ask that you accept his apologies. I have.
Regards,
Sandia
