Is NM a good state to relocate to for a personal med grower?

[JoeFriday]

I am a disabled vet interested in relocating to a medical mary state.
I want to grow, and consume my own meds..I am not into purchasing from clubs or interested in supplying them...

Not trying to be greedy I am simply a shut in.

Anyway I have been planning a relocation to colorado, but a news clip about NM's higher plant counts caught my eye.

Can anyone recommend new mexico for my purpouse?
Can anyone help me with new mexicos application process?

Any advice or anything about the area or really anything to help me decide which state is best for my needs?

Thanks in advance

Any state with a semblance of protection is a good choice.

As long as you don't make any noise "plant counts" can be fudged here and there because, um, nobody is coming to check on what yer doin unless yer doin something very obvious.

At least that's how we work it here.

I agree i fudge a little also. This is a good state if you plan on growing only but if you are looking to buy from the producers well then i would suggest elsewere. We normally dont have enough meds for the paitents we have now. I grow my own and dont buy from the producers and i am pleased. I wish the plant count was a little higher but i guess we cant have everything.

Thanks for all the responses! Can I get a rough estimate on how long the card approval process takes?

[alfonso2002]

Mine took a little longer about 45 days there was a problem with the specialist was not approved by DOH ??? but it all ended good. I got both at the same time.

Roswell is a city of 50,000 people. Jobs are hard to find these days. Most people are friendly, however there is some gang activity going back 4 generations. I lived there about a month, and could not find work so I moved to the east. The city is strange in regards to $300,000 homes next to run down homes. There is a Homedepo, walgreens, Tractor supply, Walmart, Sams Club, the usual shopping as with most cities. Traffic is a bit heavy, with lots of old people driving, so keep an eye out for them.
Any other questions do not hesitate to ask, Ill get an answer for you.

PM Me - I live in Roswell and have been here for the past 3 months and am also a disabled vet. Contrary to what's been said, there is plenty of work here however many people choose to not work so the unemployment rate is skewed. I currently hold an active MMJ card in Colorado and will have a New Mexico Medical Cannabis card in about 3 weeks. If you move down here perhaps we can work together.

Good Luck in your search!!!!
