The Future of the Medical Marijuana Program in New Mexico

[Totah Sam]

The polls are showing that Susana Martinez in the lead. She has been very vocal and emphatic about ending the program in New Mexico. If she wins the governorship, do we have any recourse? Can we stop her from ending the program?

I have this sinking feeling that we are going backwards and losing ground. It is so disheartening.

MMj is getting a bad rap because of the abuse in the programs through out the United States, not just NM.. The so "called Green Rush" is over. Martinez and Vigil are full supporters of a lot of bullshit and do not believe in our cuase. Vigil may say one thing but he has held back on this program from the very start? IMO,..This is a classic scenario called "political sabotage" I looked up some info on Vigil a while back and have had my doubts about him from the start. Martinez is self explanitory and very transparent.
Vote for Denish, I am pretty sure everyone I know is going to vote for her. They should if they value their "legal" MMJ.

Good post x.
this is a very crucial matter.
I really hope Denish wins.

I personally believe this train has left the station and there is little anyone can do to stop it now or in the future. I cannot speak for others but even if the law disappeared I would continue to do grow my own medicine as I do now as I REFUSE to go back on opiates/pharacueticals for daily pain control. (not to mention, sanity)

the secret for everyone involved (IMO) is to network and find other patients so that you always have someone to reach out to when the need arises. Two heads are better than one and they usually know 2 other heads who know 2 other heads...repeat/repeat/etc. :stoned: I know how hard it is for some folks to come topside and to even admit to others they are a patient but until you do you will be all alone and at the mercy of others who will tell you how well they are treating you as they are simultaneaously reaching around for the wallet in yer back pocket.

there is strength in numbers in many facets in this game. As a patient you have more power than you think. If each one of you wrote a passionate, open letter to the Editor of a newspaper and told how MMJ has changed your llife you may sway that ONE vote that will make the difference in the end.

and if each one of you reached out and made contact with another patient you may just make a friend for life....someone who can relate to you and still LIKE you even on your worst days.

I agree with you 200%. In my painful world i have 3 people i know i can call on and they will be there for me on my worset of days and spend the best of my days with they are my husband, sister-in-law,and mother-in-law thats it if i didnt have them i would have no one and then i realize there is someone out there right now that doesnt have one person they can call they really have no one. I want to make it so that everyone has someone. I am here if you need to talk let me know on here and i will send you my email. I cant win this pain battle on my own so i dont expect anyone else to do it alone.

Thank you blackhash you are a friend that everyone needs also.

This is a very serious situation. I went to a republican county meeting where Susana Martinez was speaking. It was very creepy with her husband armed with a 45 automatic handgun, two additional magazines, two sets of handcuffs and a badge, taking up position on the door. After that meeting I resigned from the local party and never went back.
I hate the idea of becoming politically active again, but all of us need to pull together to vote her out and send her back to Las Cruces.

Very passionate Hash. I always enjoy what you have to say.
In all respects, The train may have left station but who's driving the thing? Lol
There is a ton of work left to be done on the tracks themselves and towns to be connected.. This program is a rabbit on the highway and On the other side is nothing less then survival. ,for some, and prison free for others. You know what I am talking about.
In the game of life here ,as we all know it, wolves are looking for their piece of meat along the way and of course there are those who would rather just clean the street and wipe the program clean off the road completely. Either way. I know it sounds pessimistic but Martinez- is very well known for her slander tactics and under handing all things she deems "unfit" (she seems to believe in reefer madness ) Lol, seriously who knows? Unfortunately a lot of the public may not believe her on this issue but they do support her other causes which could dominate the many important programs needing attention right now. In truth and by fact She is more interested in Mexican nationals and making them legal United States citizens? Martinez and Vigil hold immigration in higher regard then our mmj program?
Send lots of letters like Hash said.

New Mexico Office of Border Health lol haha jk
couldnâ??t resist. Seriously there are addresses at this link if you actually want to send some letters or story of your life to our wonder of compassion,.. Vigil.

Gov. Richardson attacks claims by GOP nominee Susana Martinez (3:43 p.m.) - Las Cruces Sun-News
Martinez is most likely going to bury herself but ?
Honestly,.. In reality Martinez would have to do some serious battling ( I mean some serious boxing ) Too even move on her intentions to end this program ,but, If she makes it too Gov ,then, I feel a bigger battle ahead to maintain ones independence with freedom of choice as too their medical care.
II agree with you Hash and completely respect your opinions. I hope mankind can stay somewhat â??Kindâ?�
