I sure wish that I could PM you regarding mmgreenlight and what I have not found.

xsnoder,

Sorry to hear about your pain issues mate. I am in a bad way myself. The folks here are generally good people and I have yet to meet a real jackA&& on here. I too am suffering from a myriad of issues. I don't use cannabis, however, I applied for my cards with the help of John Monad (one of the most caring people I have ever met and whom I consider a friend).

I have no issues with NMGREENLIGHT. They are providing a service. People can elect to use them or not.

When I first started researching things back in January due to declining health AND because my pain management doc suggested I look into the Medical Cannabis Program....it was hard to find a doctor for my second signature. I have the same issue with primary doctor works federally so no dice on that.

If I did not meet some wonderful folks HERE on this section of the forum, I would have been in some worse shape. Not that I would not have been able to do this myself, mind you, but the guidance that JM gave me has been nothing short of OUTSTANDING.

Since this program is fairly new in this state, not everyone has answers, and that there only 1500 or so patients....it is hard to get information at times. Is it worth paying a company to do this? Is it worth having yet another entity try to assist you? Is it worth the little extra money???? Only the patient can be the one to determine this. I do however, applaud them getting their information out here on the forum but suggest that they take out an ad in the Alibi or other newspaper. It would help get the word out more.

thanks cool, but i meant an internal one, here at the site. i don't think i've ever been to a site that didn't have that built into the forum, strange....

I spoke with Dan Riffle at MPP. He is a legeslative anaylsist and I speak with him from time to time so I can keep updated on the NM progress.
We have no resources in the NM mmj program and it is very understaffed. There are over 60 production applications and tons more for other things but no staff to work it through. The state is very aware of this but will not dedicate any more money to the program? I am in the process of tracking down 2 lobbiest in Santa Fe so I can see where I can help. I have sent many letters to Vigil but I am on the hunt ,now, to see whom has the real influeneces in this state. We need more despenceries and Good people to run them. We need more lobbiest and a giant list of other things if we ever expect this state to get ahead of the game.
Does anyone here do this sort of thing? any political work? any activist work?
The more people we have telling them that their program is not meeting the needs of the patient, the more we can get the state to pull and redirect more funding to the MMJ program

Noder I agree with your train of thought. Money is not there to be directed to the MCP the state is broke like the rest. Now certainly we have some pork projects here that one could argue that could be better served to the MCP which really affects people. Again I like how you're thinking.

Where is that pork that could be actually used to help We The People.

nmgreenlight will be advertising in several papers throughout New Mexico and are in the process of building our website. We do not want to start this kind of advertising until we get our specialist on board. We do not want an overflow of calls from patients with CHRONIC PAIN; we can't help right now. We just wanted to let you guys know that there is a facility out there willing to help patients who want it. We have already helped place patients that have been on this forum with our Attorney; so glad we could help with that. Thanks for the advise, we appreciate it!

Politics is a waste of time,get some dirt on a banker......then you'll have some influence.

[xsnoder]

I don't know any bankers, Do you? lol
Still, I'm getting a little further in the search for influence and some money. Politics are a pain in the ass alright but Politicians know bankers. If Politicians have influence over change then it will domino to the money. Well,, in theroy anyway :thumbsup:

Happy friday everyone

[coolslayer]

Maybe.But the bankers control the politicians,not the other way around.
