Totah I am in san Juan county and They are backing out I think? Last I heard anyway, the one going in Farmington is not happining.. To bad huh?
Actually with Vigil, 6 more producers is a miracle lol Hope it gets better and they can actually cover the northern areas as he promised in his original mission statement. :jointsmile:
That is too bad. They had to submit their application numerous times and Vigil just kept kicking it back. I don't blame them for giving up.Quote:

Great news for the patients down south, hopefully we will get some good news soon for the people up north:)
Woohoo!! :DQuote:

Thanks agian for your endurance
anyone have information on the np producer in lea county? or how to contact them. been in the program for 2 months and still havent been able to get any meds through the program yet. i understand they said they would send information out....but i just don't know if they will. or if anyone in the SE is looking for a boardmember I am up for helping anyway I can.
The DOH will send all NM MCP patients the new producers contact info in the next 3 to 4 weeks.
I Can't Wait! - WOW-Quote:

When is someone going to organize a Cannabis Cup for the new Mexico Producers and patients??
I'm totally down for something like that!
Funny you ask about a NM Cup.
Last year I bought NMCANNABISCUP.COM and plan to get organized soon.
I'm thinking next summer after the new producers get going and we have about 20 of them.
Any suggestions welcome.
the more bud the better
JM is the man!Quote:

It's probably better to spend $400 on an ounce of cannabis that is potent than $50 on an ounce on brickweed.
You say that it doesn't cost the Producers $400 an ounce to grow......but are you factoring in the startup costs? Like a warehouse,security,enough equipment to grow 90 plants,payroll,license fees,etc.? Personal production is very different from commercial production.Plus,the NM DOH requires that the prices not be too low,as there is concern that patients will resell their meds at a profit,as some pain meds patients do.
If you put your email info on your account,there is a PM option(of sorts) here by
left clicking the username,selecting View Public Profile,clicking on the Contact Info tab,and the email info is there to send a message with. If they don't have a Contact Info tab,they didn't enter that info in their CC account.
Hey blackhash. Very interesting and informative post. To answer your question about producers, unless it's changed, DOH requires all cannabis to be grown organically. No hydro allowed.
I think it may be because some medical patients can't risk adverse reactions to other meds they may be prescribed for various conditions.I could be off base but that might be an issue.I leave those answers to more experienced growers and medical professionals.
Greetings blackhash, I agree, it would be nice to see a more reasonable price per unit, the current cost are inflated and the idea that security and other startup cost would justify the current cost is nonsense. if you would like to exchange growing tech. and other information regarding medical cannabis, I would be happy to speak with you, I am on the board of directors for two of the licensed producers and serve as the VP at one of the non-profits, if you PM me I will get my contact info to you. hope you are well and I look forward to speaking to you.Quote:

I think the state encourages keeping prices at street level. No matter how you slice it, 400 an O is way overpriced. But I think the state is scared to let the producers sell cheaper. Think if med people could get O's for 200. Many an unscrupulous persons would be temped to make a profit. It's great for the producers, but bad for folks like us who really need it.
Yes these producers are making money no doubt. I don't fault them for that but yeah they could charge less and still live well.
4 bills an o is a bit off,more like $420(not funny) plus tax and for some a BS delivery fee and having to track down the delivery guy. When all of this is considered along with travel it is far more than $400. Of course,especially now,here, there is no such thing as a quantity discount right. LBS of killer Northern Lights in Denver don't sell for $400 an o and not even close to 3k and they aren't that hard to find,even 5 yrs ago. I wonder what people pay in NorCal for their meds when street prices are between 2-3 bills.
Anyway,don't know about anyone else but from what I've gotten that was "medical grade" does not have me at all eager to spend 400 on. There is some bombdiggy on the street that is just that and cheaper.
In defense of our current Producers. They are hard working, dedicated, compassionate individuals. I have had nothing but great experiences (with the exception of one who I will never order from) with them. They are literally between a rock and a hard place. They are doing all they can to help the patients and in the meantime deal with the FEDS and checkpoints.
Kudos to our producers. I'm surprised they were able to get ANY product out to the patients with all the restrictions and stumbling blocks.
Back on topic....
Is the DOH going to let us know about the new producers and how to contact them (once product is available of course)?
Letters should be sent out to all patients informing them of the new Producers,it's just a matter of time........it is a waiting game.
I talked to one produer and he told me that is dose count in there 95 plant limitQuote:

Do you know in what city, in Lea county that provider is in, the only one I have found is in Carlsbad. I know the news said there was supose to be one in Lea County but I haven't had any luck in locating the one from Lea County. Thanks for your help.Quote:

there is a producer in carlsbad? can anyone confirm this?
I can understand them trying to stay under the radar, but when the DOH is top secret on their location it does make it difficult for one to get this much needed medicine, without having to pay for a deleivery charge.Quote:
