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.

The link for the Packet of forms with instructions on the NM DoH web site is:

Well, crud. Looks like I'm gonna be SOL on this. How odd that we have a law that allows it, but the "system" makes it impossible for me to get it? What's the use? It will take Carlsbad 20 years to catch up - so if you live here, I guess you're just screwed, huh? Thanks for the info & forms, etc. It's just too bad I can't do anything with them, considering my situation. I guess I'll look into moving to CA, where it's all but legal.
hermit58 Reviewed by hermit58 on . anyone know of a cool Doc? Have medical qualifying conditions with medical records to back it up. I am a vet and get my med care at VA. I don't have a regular doc other than VA. State says they may reject applicants who are not regular patient of physician. They tell me you can not visit doctor just once for signing of paperwork. You must be a regular patient. I don't have the money to go around trying different doctors to see who is med 420 friendly. Would love some advice. Please not the same old rhetoric I have been Rating: 5
