PLEASE HELP!! South East NM

HI, Im new to the forums, but I seriously need some help. Ok, so after 5 failed knee surgeries, 1 replacement, one more on the way, an 8 year long pain killer addiction ( Sober 3 years! ) and 13 kidney stones, I finally decided to start looking for alternate methods of relieving my pain. THC is a god-send for me, yet I can't find a single Doctor in South East NM that ISNT afraid to sign the application, so if anyone can help me, Im desperate to no end. I suffer daily from severe pain and its destoying my life with my 4 year old son. All I am looking for is the name of a doctor who is un-afraid to sign my paperwork. Thanks for your time.

Do a web search for Dr. Etling. She is hard to get ahold of, but once you do she is a great understanding person. As far as signing, that is what is advertises on her site. She has even helped people acquire a card that did not have a underlying condition.

Thank you very much. She must just be hell to get ahold of because Ive been trying for a month. Sent emails as well as called the NM and CA numbers. Maybe I should just wait it out a little longer than I guess. Thanks for the reply!!

Keep in mind that each NM doctor or PA is only allowed FOUR(4) medical cannabis patients in TOTAL.

What do you mean by

"Keep in mind that each NM doctor or PA is only allowed FOUR(4) medical cannabis patients in TOTAL. "

Do you mean as a caregiver?

IT doesn't make sense.
I believe they can write as many MMJ prescriptions as needed by their patients who meet eligibility.

Please explain?

Is Santa Fe too far? If not go to Home

Bat

The law only allows each doctor or PA to have a total of 4 MM patients under their care.

Cool!

It's fairly easy, and don't have to look too far.

To get a recommendation for medical cannabis, simply ask your Doctor in a frank and honest way. If that doesnâ??t work you may have to drive Santa Fe or Albuquerque and put up about $150 - $200 if your insurance doesn't cover it.

Santa Fe:
MEDICAL MARIJUANA EVALUATIONS
www.medicmarijuiana.net
505-982-4371
They are booked up about two to three weeks in advance

Albuquerque:
MEDICAL MARIJUANA EVALUATIONS
Nicholas J. Nardacci, Ph. D.M.D.
Amer, Acad, Diability Evalualtions, Physicians
505-269-5244
Call to set up an appointment. They do not accept insurance.


Licensed Medical Cannabis Producers:

SFINM
http://sfinm.com/
The first and original Santa Fe Institute of Natural Medicine. Not known for their warmth and bubbly personality, SFINM is known for their parking lot delivery system and add-on fees. Now featuring a new and bizarre lottery system, so complicated I'm not sure they know how it works. Give it a shot, enroll and roll the dice. Product reports are hit and miss.

Newmexicann Natural Medicine
The NewMexiCannabis Project
Run by the very colorful Len Goodman, a Santa Fe treasure and long standing businessman. Spend five minutes with Len and you know heâ??s the real deal. The first crop is due in a couple of months. Stay tuned. Known for great information. Check out their website and learn.

SWOP (Southwest Organic Producers)
SWOP - Southwest Organic Producers - Some of New Mexico's Finest medical cannabis
SWOP is founded by a State certified master gardener and itâ??s board of directors consists of a large number of patient growers. SWOP practices in-home delivery and does not charge a delivery fee, on qualified purchases in the Albuquerque/Santa Fe metro area. Known for their giveaways, promotions and the fact that the delivery staff wear hospital scrubs, SWOP takes medical Cannabis very seriously, but they have good time doing it.

Two Other Mystery Producers- ?
Donâ??t know, nada. Will hear when the State decides to let us all know or if they decide to step forward to be counted.

Speaking of patient information:
Rumor has it producer information letters are going out at the beginning of next week (heard that one before) to patients announcing all four of the new medical cannabis producers.

Does this mean you can pick up the phone and get your medication right now? No.

So what do you do now?

Go to the websites of the producers above and register to be in their programs.
If you donâ??t register, you canâ??t get medication and you canâ??t complain the state is keeping you down or that the producers suck.

All of the producers are busting humps to get the medication to the people that need it. There are at least another 20 qualified producers in-waiting, several with approved proposals AND site visits.

There will not be any more producers licensed until the state sees we need more medical cannabis.

How do you do that?

Buy as much medical cannabis as you can afford from licensed producers above. They will run out fast. And when they do run out, be vocal to the State Department of Health, not the producers. Call DOH, email them, write them. Tell them you vote and you need your medication.

Sorry for the long message, but â??Letâ??s quit bitching and get growing New Mexico!

Apparently aniolator wants Dr. Etling to get her license yanked by blabbing she breaks the law by falsifying records. Hello McFly. Anybody home?

Yeah,that's not too bright.

i dont know what it is about se nm everyone just needs to stop being paranoid or were never gonna have a good mmj system here.

so i hope you have the recomendation you need! i live in south east new mexico and i am looking into applying to open a dispensary. is there any already in the area? (i am in carlsbad).

i am looking for qualified patients to serve on my board of directors. please let me know if you are interested or if you know anyone who might be thanks.

I got both recs and should be a registered patient soon. As far as I know there are no dispensaries here. Id love to discuss the possibility of one here though.

THAT IS REALLY REALLY STUPID TO PUT DOC E UP ON HERE JUST LIKE THAT!!!!

Yeah,please don't do that again.

Anybody know another number I can call to check my application status?? Ive probably called the number that is listed on the website 2 dozen times today alone, and ive been trying since last week.

There are two numbers on the web site. Try 827-2862 AND 827-2321

They all went home early today buddy...we all did. I have a foot of snow at my house and getting deeper. I was at DOH all morning. They turned us loose at 1:30.

Well damnit....lol. Ill just have to try again tomorrow. Foiled by the weather. Thanx bob.

errr....I would almost GUARANTEE that all state offices will be closed in Santa Fe for at least two hours in the morning. I wouldnt be surprised if most folks stayed home anyway. It was looking pretty bad when I left and it has been snowing HARD since.

I bet they are just swamped over there. That is why I go in person. The staff is good people though and I think they are doing the best that they can. I bet they get back to you soon.

......this is why I live down south. Stupid snow, lol. Im just getting antsy. I get my income tax money soon and the quicker I get my card the quicker I can make the trip up north to get quality medication. My lungs hurt from shitty schwag.

YUP THE SCHWAG HERE IS FUCKING NASTY WERE AM AT TOO BUT I GET VERRY GOOD HIGH GRADE THO

Why go up north when you can order it for delivery?

Didnt know they delivered! lol. Still waiting on my card, so its all just talk right now anyway. Do you know if they would deliver to the south slayer? Im sure if they did, they would charge one hell of a fuel charge.

As far as I know,one Producer charges mileage and another charges $20 per order.

At last check,they were all out of product.

Still cant get through to the DOH. Been trying everyday for a week now ( except the weekend of course ) and nobody answers nor replies to my voicemail. This is getting frustrating to say the least.

It wont take 'em long. Seems they are getting them out pretty quickly. I remember you sent yours in a day or two before mine didnt you? They approved mine on Friday and I got the card today. I'll bet they mail it out the day they get your ID. Bet ya have it by Wednesday.

What a feeling! I never thought I would see the day! I hope you get it soon and have a big ol' fatty ready to celebrate! I am having a little ceremony as I write!

Hopefully this won't affect you but keep in mind that the DOH has 3 more furlough days to go. Green luck to you.

Cool!

Fire,

you still got to wait like two weeks when you get your card because you half to sign up with the 5 producers heads up
