I think requesting will get the message across. There's no need to demand.

That's probably best.

I don't think John is suggesting we get out the pitch forks yet. This is just a passionate plea to bust out the pen, charge up the phone, and convey the importance of Dr. Vigil attending this meeting. As we are all to aware, change can be tectonically slow, but even plates shift abruptly when the pressure is just right.

Dr. Vigil is holding back the progress of the NM MCP.
There are over 1300 patients and 5 producers growing enough for 500 patients.
Something is very wrong. At this point the program will always be behind.
We need 10 more growers asap to catch up to the patients the DOH is approving.
Why should approved patients go without their meds?
There is no good answer to that.

Gotta back John on this one. From everything I have heard/read, the good doc needs to get on the ball. This card is almost useless without meds to back it.

two years after the law is passed, no dispensary apps passed...now there are 5, and according to the doh twenty something in the queue..of which not a single one passed for approval at the last application review....SIX months to the next one..and likely another go back to the bottom of the stack.

It's painfully obvious politics are in play here...get enough to say "we're on it" but it's like boiling saltwater and collecting it on a plate of glass to drink...tedious at best.

No doubt the other dispenser wanna bees are scratching their heads. Calling the DOH will not help much. Writing your local congressman and state senator will, since in the end they represent you with the state government, not good ole boy Dr. Vigil who technically doesn't owe you nuthin.

Be interesting to watch and see where he ends up next, as this gig is going nowhere fast and the news media will eventually take to this story after the next round of voting on various issues up in the other MM states.

NJ has done us one better.....the first 6 dispensors are to be not for profits, but after that...well...starbucks best look out. You can run a for profit alternative health center and dispense for a profit.

Yeah,things are going too slow on the political front.
