Dilemma

[pepurr]

My grow application was rejected. I just found out today. I don't know what more I could have put down. So, growing my own is out of the question. Why does this have to be so hard?

That sucks!

Why did they reject it? Please give details so others may avoid the same pit falls.

Did they come over and inspect? I worry about that one because....well you know.

Ohhhh Sam I am so sorry for that!!!!!!!!!

As Pepurr asked, Could you tell us why they rejected you....

If you could let us all know, without divulging too many personal things, what you put on the form? This would go a LONG way in helping others here on the site!

Hang in there buddy.....I believe you can resubmit....

I am NOT an expert at all in these matters, but I have taken the liberty to quote something out of the NM Administrative Code that may/may not help:

7.34.4.10 DENIAL OF AN INITIAL PRODUCER LICENSE:
A. Record review: All applicants whose initial application for a licensed producer has been denied
may request a record review from the department.
B. Procedure for requesting informal administrative review:
(1) An applicant given notice of an application denial may submit a written request for a record
review. To be effective, the written request shall:
(a) be made within thirty (30) calendar days, as determined by the postmark, from the date of
the denial notice issued by the department;
(b) be properly addressed to the medical cannabis program;
(c) state the applicantâ??s name, address, and telephone numbers;
(d) state the applicantâ??s proposed status as a licensed producer;
(e) provide a brief narrative rebutting the circumstances of the application denial.
(2) If the applicant wishes to submit and have considered additional documentations, such additional
documentation must be included with the request for a record review.
C. Record review proceeding: The review proceeding is intended to be an informal non-adversarial
administrative review of written documentation. It shall be conducted by an administrative review committee
designated for that purpose by the division. In cases where the administrative review committee finds the need for
additional or clarifying information, the review committee may request that the applicant supply such additional
information within the time set forth in the committeesâ?? request.
D. Final determination:
(1) Content: The administrative review committee shall render, sign and enter a written decision
setting forth the reasons for the decision and the evidence upon which the decision is based.
(2) Effect: The decision of the administrative review committee is the final decision of the informal
administrative review proceeding.
(3) Notice: A copy of the decision shall be mailed by registered or certified mail to the applicant.
E. Judicial review: Judicial review of the administrative review committeeâ??s final decision is
permitted to the extent provided by law. The party requesting the appeal shall bear the cost of such appeal.
[7.34.3.10 NMAC - N, 12/15/2008]

I am NOT a legal professional so I am not 100% on how this effects personal production, however, the NMAC does define two classes of producers:

7.34.4.8 LICENSED PRODUCER APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:
A. The department may license two classes of producers:
(1) a qualified patient who shall produce no more than an adequate supply of marijuana for the
qualified patientâ??s personal use only; and
(2) a non-profit private entity that operates a facility and, at any one time, is limited to a total of
ninety-five (95) mature plants and seedlings and an inventory of usable marijuana that reflects current patient needs,
and that shall sell marijuana with a consistent unit price, without volume discounts.
B. Application for licensure as either a qualified patient or private entity.
(1) The issuance of an application form is in no way a guarantee that the completed application shall
be accepted or that a license will be granted. Information provided by the applicant and used by the licensing
authority for the licensing process shall be accurate and truthful. Any applicant that fails to participate in good faith
by falsifying information presented in the licensing process shall have its license denied by the licensing authority.
(2) The number of licenses issued by the department to private entities is at the discretion of the
secretary.

Perhaps others can shed some light on this subject.....

GOOD LUCK!!!! I am pulling for you!!!!

Discretion will keep you free. :hippy:

Hey! Lets get every pot dealer out there signed up as care givers. :thumbsup:

One person I know has done just that.

That sucks!

I have had my personal grow license for months and have not been inspected even once.I think it depends on where you live,but I don't know the DOH's thinking on that.

[Totah Sam]

Trouble is, I don't know any dealers. I have no idea even where to start. I'm back on the Paxil again and I'm seriously considering just giving up on the Cannabis program. They've made it almost impossible to get medicine and I can't play around with medications right now with all the stress going on in my life.

It was worth a try. Of all the Medical Cannabis programs, I have to say, New Mexico is the worst. Where is the compassion in this "compassionate act?"

[Sandia]

Sam,

I am really really glad to see that you are back up here on the forum. I haven't even been able to submit my application yet....FRIDAY is the day for me. What my pain doc said and I believe someone else mentioned that the producers are supposedly going to get medicine very soon. I am sure you have already done so, but have you contacted the producers yet?

Be well Sam and have a Happy Easter!!!!

I received a response from SWOP and was told I would be sent a newsletter this weekend. The only response. the other three I haven't been able contact by email or phone.

[Sandia]

That's at least a start Sam! Let us all know how that works out. I posted a thought in the other thread, but you may have to put the legal description in your application. I am planning on doing that on my application.

[Anonymouse]

I'm about in the same boat. I am new to the area and my personal supply is out. I figure to get my card this week (3 weeks tomorrow since app) and I'm hoping I can meet a few people once I'm 'in the club' so to speak and help rectify this problem.

I have Chemo this week (do it every other week) and am not looking forward to doing it without meds, I haven't yet in 8 cycles.

Good luck getting your card Anonymouse. Hope you have no problems with it. Chemo sucks in one way, but I am glad for it in another way.

One of my friends told me that marijuana don't help with the side effects. It just makes it so that he don't give a damn. :S5:

I think it does help with the sides and you don't give a damn. :yippee:
