First letâ??s say sorry to coolsalyer. He is not the one I was directing that response to. It was torts the bedrockbob response. I am far from frustrated with this proseâ??s. I just donâ??t like people misleading others on the path to nowhere. Which is exactly what you are doing with these false statements? Fact 1 you cannot be a licensed producer in NM without opening a dispensary. That does not mean a brick and mortar building just away to distribute your product. U are truly amusing thinking you can open up a hippy commune and disperse your product and the state is going to let this happen I think not. You say you have spoken to one person. There is nothing to get frustrated over. My company and I are on the last phase of approval. So why you think I am frustrated with the state is weird. When I keep saying that you are misleading everyone on this board by making false statements with no factâ??s to back it up. I have looked long and hard to find these changes in NM state policies to growing MED. Nothing has changed.
In accordance with the New Mexico Department of Health, Public Health Divisionâ??s Rules (Title 7; Chapter 34; Part 4) â??Licensing Requirements for Producers, Production Facilities and Distribution,â?� the following application requirements apply to a non-profit private entity that wishes to operate a facility and produce cannabis for medical use. Any application submitted on or after February 1, 2010 must use this format.

General Requirements: A facility that qualifies to produce and distribute cannabis for medical use is limited to a combined total of ninety-five (95) mature plants and seedlings and an inventory of usable medical cannabis that reflects current qualified patient needs. The non-profit will sell medical cannabis at a consistent unit price and without volume discounts. Only non-profit organizations are eligible for licensure.

Application Requirements: All applicants must develop and submit policies and procedures to produce and distribute medical cannabis. The applicants, if licensed, would be required to maintain these policies and procedures on the premises. At a minimum, the application must include the criteria starting on page 2 of this document. These pages should be used as the index for the application and must be completely filled out, including the page numbers where each item starts.

O.K. fellow. You know more than I do and you say it cant be done. I will point out that you are quoting the rules for a facility that provides a dispensary service and I am proposing a cooperative of patients. I will leave it at that because I can see that you will argue. I am just doing a little dreaming here and you are getting quite ruffled.

I may be just crazy to think that a few patients could get together and produce their own in a common venture. I dont think so though. Even if it is four patients coming together to enable a sea of green, or something along those lines. I believe that it would be worth the effort for a few interested individuals to look at.

So rock on with your dispensary there buddy. I hope you sell a bunch of bud to those who cant grow it for themselves!

My friend those rules you are talking about are the only ones that have been approved by the state of NM. That is the only way you can legally grow 95 plants. If you think I know more than you cool. I only speak from facts. Good luck with what you are trying to do hope it works out for you. Funny thing is I can talk as much as I want and if you buy from a dispensary in NM you will never know if itâ??s the one I have part owner ship in LOL. Peace to all who enjoy their good MEDs.

Producers should help to put people to work and supply medicine to the sick as their 1st priority.

Unfortunately,some will try to become producers just for the money,not out of compassion.The best we can do as patients is to isolate those producers and get our medicine only from the others.

Agreed coolslayer.That is why I hope to become producer.

I honestly believe that the profiteers will not last. There is no real profit in the production now, as we discussed previously in this thread. People that do it for the love of doing it and to help each other...those people will prevail. I don't believe the state wants another Colorado situation, and just yesterday they are proposing big changes in Colorado...More toward the New Mexico model for commercial growers, and supporting cooperative grows.

It certainly works for California. Five to seven people sign on with a person with a setup and they support a grow. They get good meds, its cheap, and they are staying away from the dispensary. If they are all friends it gets cheap really fast. If a person with the equipment wants to produce at a profit they can, but are limited to the amount of patients they are growing for. It works as a small business and as a cooperative. Just like I believe our laws will too.

When dope is legalized, whenever that is, then it will be the day of the "dispensary". This is about Medical Marijuana and legitimizing the use and production of marijuana by the patients. Also, the availability of medicine to every patient.

Heck, it is a hearty plant that thrives in any New Mexico growing zone. We have extensive agriculture and an excellent climate. We have top notch farmers and horticulturists, and one of the premeir agricultural colleges in the world. It should be FREE.

Good post,but we need to move away from calling herb "dope".
Cocaine is "dope",cannabis is medicine.

I have been smoking dope for 35 years. I get your point loud and clear, but please dont be offended if I keep calling it dope. I love dope! :rastasmoke:

Calling medicine "dope" only serves to help keep it from being accepted by more people.
