Unfortunately, the doc has to not only certify that the patient has one of the recognized conditions, but als that Medical Marijuans would be of benefit.

Here is the language from the NM DoH applicaiton for patients:

"Written certification MUST be provided below pursuant to the Lynn & Erin Compassionate Use Act of 2007, certifying the aforementioned patient has a debilitating medical condition and the potential health benefits of the medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh health risks for the patient: (Attach a separate page if more space is needed)"

The doc has to explain this in some detail on the form.
