Donna, a representative from the Santa Fe Institute for Natural Medicine (who declined to give her last name), says in a voicemail to SFR that â??the problem with the new producers is they really just donâ??t know how to produceâ?¦theyâ??re trying to say itâ??s someone elseâ??s fault that they donâ??t know how to do their job.â?�

SFINM, the programâ??s first licensed producer, has 700 members, she says, â??and weâ??re able to serve every one of them.â?�

Yes but SFINM only services people from the Santa Fe area. The other producers are taking up the slack for the rest of the state. Instead of being critical of other producers why doesn't she do some research and get her facts straight? There is a limit with some producers on how much you can get PER STRAIN due to availability and the lack thereof.

Are there 700 members in santa fe area???

Im in rio rancho and i am able to order from them so i know SFINM is not only for santa fe. I was also told shortly after i had registered with them that they were no longer taking applications and that was back in early march. I dont know if it is still like that since i am already a member.

Normally i get an email stating what is ready and when it will be ready. I like them just because of all the updates i get but have not had a chance to try the medication.

There are six more coming online in the next couple of weeks . DOH will be sending out a list to patients. hopefully the pricing will also come down

[medical420mama]

MMJ is like any other commodity where the market is controlled by supply and demand. As long as there is conversation here/elsewhere that centers around finding any available product from the "producers" and not conversation that is centered around the 15-20 different strains that are available from the producers (a.k.a. "competition") the price will remain where it is now. (unfortunately)

I completely agree...i dont see the price coming down at all in the near future. But i do think insurance companies should see it as a medication so we can use our RX benifits for the purchase of our medication. I am very lucky i have health insurance I am covered under SCI (state coverage insurance, kinda simalr to medicaid) and barely have any out of pocket fees for medication. So it would help us paitents out a great deal if we could do that.

The thing that hit me most, besides the unreasonable bashing of all other producer\growers was that the spokesperson from SFI.. claims they can take care of all 700 of their patients yet they have never done so.

I want to know what strain they are smoking over there?

BTW I "was" a patient of theirs but I have recently resigned from their patient roster.

It's says right on the website that they only service Santa Fe and the informed me by email that they only service that area. Weird.

Maybe its because i am so close to santafe that i am able to order form them, but then again i havent been able to order any meds so maybe when i do get that chance they will tell me the same.

Sorry FLYINHIGHT2, but I just had to post in your thread. The prducers I know have 4 card holders on their board. Each card member has 4 mother plants instead of 4 budding plants at their personal house for their personal license. The nonprofit is growing as many clones as they could get off of 16 mothers. You all probably have an idea of how many clones that could produce. That enables them to have the max or close to the max of mature plants in the nonprofit. They crop those, then repeat the process. They may only have one mother or two on site. Would this process allow for more available product more consistently?
