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
