New Mexico Green Light Open for Business

[nmgreenlight]

Hello everyone,

NM Greenlight is a registration service for anyone wanting to get a Medical Marijuana License in the state of New Mexico. I have doctor on staff and will be getting a Neurologist in a few months that will be able to sign for patients with chronic pain and any neurological condition. We are available for all patients who qualify.

If your condition is purely chronic pain you will need your own specialist to sign the form for now. All other patients needing one recommendation, can apply through our service.

We are also waiting for the state to approve 3 dispensaries in the San Juan County area which we hope to be up and running soon. We also have an attorney working with us and is available for legal advice regarding medical marijuana.

If you would like to use our service for registration and doctor referral please contact us at:

(505) 634-6620 or (505) 634-6621

Got a website yet?

[nmgreenlight]

Website is being built as we speak! Not sure how long it will take to get it up and running.

[coolslayer]

Thanks.

I have noticed that you are all over the place on this forum. Have you heard any news on the state dropping the SPECIALIST requirement? I spoke with the State and they said that the proposal was being written up to send to Vigil, but did not know whether he would approve it or how long it could take?

hmmmm..let the profiteering begin

when we start seeing folks trying to cash in on helping people to get MM cards, we're making a turn down the road to despair.

Card mills help opposing forces support legislation that people are being issued cards simply to gain legal access to drugs and can end up with new regulations regarding doctor-patient relationships. This is on the table in colorado right now.

In the end result this means if you have a doctor that isn't MM savvy, you simply can't just go to a new doctor, you have to establish a confirmable relationship with the doctor as being your primary.

This worries me a great deal. The thread where I challenged this business model had been removed. this one may be also.

Have a look see as to what happens when you open a business based on seeing MM patients.

Sorry there greenlight, but writing MM recs to anybody who walks in for a fee(a qualified patient) is going to bring unwanted attention.

When the DOH starts seeing numerous recs coming out of your service, no doubt the patients applications will be investigated more carefully and with the limited staff, your desire to make some money is going to impede approvals for other patients.

You're better off convincing your current doctor as to the need for writing the rec. Any reasonable doctor, presented with current information should have no problem writing a rec. My doc resisted, until I told him I was sick and tired of taking vicodin or suffering. I presented information from a number of studies and discussed it with him. I took a cut in my vicodin prescription and was given a rec as an "alternative painkiller". At my last visit my doc actually asked if I was able to get meds, since he started following the NM situation. I still have a good supply of prescription medication I can take when I can't use my alternative.

And why would I even need access to an attorney? Well maybe if I was going to challenge my employer on my right to fail a mandatory drug test on the job. Not a problem for me since I can't work.

If you sniff around a bit, you'll find some legit doctors who in addition to the regular practice, help patients with alternative treatments if your current doctor is simply a lost cause.

I agree with this opening a place when just anyone can come in defeets the purpose of it being a medication. I suffered for two years of takes narcotics lost a organ due to it and everytime i asked about my docs shot me down. Then finally after two years i finally one day got the strength to say enough and i told them that cannabis worked and he finally saw that and signed my paperwork. Im not saying that you have to suffer like i did for 2 years but stick with your doctor that already knows your issues and what he has done and everything else. Let him/her know that your not just some druggie looking for a fix you are a sick paitient that needs the right medication. If we start giving cards out to any person off the street that claims they are in pain then there will never be enough medication for the people that really do need it. We think there is a problem now what is going to happen when you are up in full force and giving out 30 cards or more a day?

Way To Go NMGL! I have a question, When you say 3 dispensaries, do you mean to growing dispensaries or to buy from you guys in a shop?

Thank You.

Greetings,

I hope to answer some concerns and questions about New Mexico Greenlight brought up in this thread.

(1) As a registration service it is our hope to help legitimate patients get their cards for using medical marijuana. We hope to do this quickly. No one should have to struggle for 2 years when they qualify by State standards, as the poster above did.

(2) We provide a qualified doctor who will examine the patient, and patient's records, and write the patient a recommendation if that person qualifies.

(3) A lawyer is part of this organization because having one who is set up and familiar with medical marijuana laws helps legitimate patients who get in trouble because of ignorance by officials. He also is an expert in setting up non-profits and can help those that want to start a dispensary.

(4) Our goal is to provide professional and timely service to anyone who qualifies, and wishes to use medical marijuana for pain control.

The Dispensaries will be growing and selling to legitimate patients, this is still in the works, as the State controls all openings.
