Sure, they could grow their own with a license to do that. Even this is problematic. They can't start the grow until they get this license, and then they have to wait months to get benefit from their grow.

How can this be fixed? Here is my 2 cents.

Reciprocal Medical Marijuana Law between New mexico and Colorado. Colorado has a well established Medical Marijuana Law and distribution system. Colorado and New Mexico share a common border, so licensed people would not be transporting across states that lack Medical Marijuana laws. So I don't see what the problem would be. This would allow people who can't obtain MMJ through a licensed grower here, due to lack of product, to purchase their meds in Colorado.
Some of us can't even grow because of the DOH's arbitrary decisions that make absolutely no sense. I think the truly smart thing to do is to increase the number of producers and allow them to grow MORE than 99 plants. Maybe go by a patient to plant ratio?

I would love to see Colorado Medical Cannabis make it's way down to New Mexico to help us out but... It's across state lines and that's where the Feds step in. It will never happen.

At this point I'm just going to have to place my faith in the Paxil and plod on. The truly amazing thing is, I started this thread today and lo and behold I get an email AND a phone call from grassrootsrx. After weeks of trying to get in contact. I was fed up and realized that if this is type of service to expect, maybe it's better to go without the service. I told them thanks, but no thanks.
Totah Sam Reviewed by Totah Sam on . Issuing a Formal Complaint? What do you all think about issuing a formal complaint from the Medical Cannabis card holders in New Mexico? Like a petition. This situation is intolerable. Waiting months to get medication? And even then, no guarantee that there will be enough to go around. Is this Afghanistan? I would understand it if this program just got off the ground last year but this progam has been in place for three years. I sent another email to Governor Richardson and I'm expecting the same response as the Rating: 5
