Cool!
Is a Chiropractor a licensed MD? WOW Yes he is you can tell by his initials. D.C. DOCTOR of CHIROPRACTICS.

Here is my email to them and then the response.

Hello again,

First let me say thank you for your quick response. Second I have some additional questions as I read through the requirements to establish economic feasibility, and license privilege vs revocation.



1) Are public dispensers allowed or is the product to be delivered directly to the patient?

2) Is it wise to have a dispensary if it is allowed? I am afraid the Federal Government may construe this as blatant disregard or flaunting.

3) If a dispensary is allowed (wise) can the production and distribution be at different locations for additional security?

4) Can a producer sell product to other producers/dispensaries?

5) Can a producer also sell supplies for home growth such as light and hydroponics equipment?

6) Can a producer give classes on growing for those who whish to be self-sufficient?

7) Can a home growth supplier sell seeds and seedlings to Medical Marijuana Patients for home growth?

8) Does the physician on the board (not one that prescribes or recommends) have to be registered and active in NM?

9) Can Chiropractors, also known as doctors of chiropractic or chiropractic physicians qualify as a â??physicianâ?ť on the non-profit board?

10) Is there a set ratio of producers to patients?

11) What is the current number of registered patients in NM?

12) What is the number of Producers in NM

13) Are the applications of currently approved producerâ??s public record that can be viewed with confidential information blacked out? The purpose is to use the methods as an accepted and successful model not for gathering information on the producer.

14) If a personal loan is necessary from a bank, private entity or individual for start up costs are they considered an interest that needs to be listed?

15) If the site location is leased does the landlord have to be listed as a business interest that needs to be listed?

16) Is an on-site finger print identification vending machine an acceptable means of distribution? Assuming prior documentation has been verified and documented in association with the finger print of the patient?

17) Does the state dictate pricing for product?

18) What is the current state tax rate on product?



Dear Mr. Anderson,
I will again answer the questions in the order presented:
1. it is up to the non-profit to propose safe methods of dispensing
2. you would need to consult with legal experts regarding this issue.
3. again, it is up tot eh non-profit to propose safe methods/facilities.
4. No
5. the regulations do not mention this.
6. the regulations specifically require information on how the producer will educate patients.
7. the regulations state nothing about seeds
8. the regulations do not specify.
9. the regulations state "other health care provider"
10. No
11. it is almost 1200
12. 5 are currently licensed
13. Yes, redacted copies are available for $.25 a page. there are currently 33 applications in process or licensed.
14. Yes
15. yes
16. The non-profit must propose methods, and evaluating them is a part of the review process.
17. No
18. it varies from county and city...please refer to local authorities for those rates.

The above are the answers number 9 was the answer. SO... I will go with the answer I received from them. Only because they are the licensing decision maker.
