Husband with MS wants to move to NM

[grfxdsnr]

Hey, can anyone tell me what the average cost is for medical mj? I get ideas from other states but I know each one is different.

I appreciate your input and will take it into consideration. I believe the climate is warmer in NM than in Colorado. My husbands ms acts up pretty bad due to cold and snow and the winters here in Illinois are BRUTAL to say the least. This is one of the reasons we are choosing NM. They may have the cold but the winter duration is much less than Illinois for sure. We don't even see 50-60 degrees until April, maybe May. LOL

You bring up a valid point about his meds. He cannot go without his medicine that's for sure. But from what everyone is saying here, Albuquerque is not an issue for getting meds or going without. Plus, hubby will grow some of his own to make up for the loss if there is one.

I'm not trying to put you off Alb., But it can get pretty darn cold here too. Alb. is a mile above sea level, so you have to consider that.

On the other hand, the summers can get pretty hot too. I'm not talking Phoenix hot, but being a mile up there isn't as much atmosphere blocking the rays of the sun. It don't take long to get a sun burn when you are out in the open. Also it is dry here. You may want to keep plenty of lotion on hand. Many people have problems with dry skin here.

Most of the time in the winter, even if it is cold, if you are in the sun you can keep kind of warm. That is if the wind isn't blowing. Speaking of wind, we get some pretty bad dust storms here too. Some times you wouldn't want to go out side cause it can sting your skin.

Other than that it isn't bad. I guess every place has its draw backs and good points. I would say the good out weighs the bad here in Albuquerque.

There's my take on it with out a suger coat.

peace

Pepurr pretty much nailed it! The "windy season" is a royal pain in the butt! NM evenings make up for that though....it is VERY nice to be able to sit out on the patio/deck after the sun sets in the summer time.

I also like the fact that there are essentially no mosquitoes here in ABQ either!

Oh yeah! No mosquitoes! I have never been bitten by one here. I was born and raised in Florida, and have been bitten by them darn things hundreds of times if not thousands.

Down in the south east you have to worry about a lot of nasty diseases transmitted by them. Here you don't have to worry about that. Just don't get bitten by a flea. They do carry the bubonic plague here. Luck would have it that it is easily cured by antibiotics.

Alright, don't start with the "critter" thing! I am already a little freaked by it all. I can handle just about any bug but those centipedes are brutal looking! Please tell me they aren't that bad in the Albquerque area. :what:

Coolslayer...Ruidoso is BEAUTIFUL....and kind of has the "downs" (racing that is...LOL)!

:thumbsup:

Yeah,there is that.Good call.

Sounds to me like the laws are more strict and there could be a shortage of medicine in NM. My suggestion that they consider Colorado was relevant to the discussion. It is in relatively the same geographical location as NM. The weather and climate is very similar to that of NM. The landscape and scenery are also very similar to what you will find in NM. The laws in Colorado appear to be much more relaxed as well. Trust me when I tell you there's no shortage of medicine at the dispensaries in Colorado.

I think I've made my point, but I don't want to hijack the thread, so I will excuse myself now. To the OP, I do hope you and your husband find a suitable state in which to live. MS is a terrible disease and you have my sympathies.
:jointsmile:

There may not be as much available medicine here as in colorado,but we also aren't having dispensary robberies and municipalities fighting against dispensaries.

It depends on the amount and which Producer that you obtain it from.

The centipedes arn't that bad. Except the ones over 3 feet long. They get a little hostile then :stoned:

Just kidding. I haven't seen the first centipedes, and I haven't seen any roaches here as well. Look out for the Jackalope though. They like to sneak up on you when you're bent over and use their sharp horns to gore you in the fanny.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
