Since the current regulation pretty much examines the need for supply exemptions based on need, methinks you're wasting effort on this one.

I'd rather see efforts to extend the certification periods for certain nerve related conditions extended to two years. It seems to be a waste of time and money to have an MS patient re-certify every year.

That disease doesn't seem to curer itself, so once you get diagnosed, why go thru the trouble and expense of having it checked yearly. We don't make drivers take eye tests every year for a license now do we?

Form letters, from my experience do not get the weight they deserve in the influence of decisions.

One of the reasons dispensaries are getting approved in remote areas like cantron county is so patients in those areas don't have to make such a long journey to buy a new supply. If you look at the number of patients data, you see that there were less then two dozen in that area by last count, while providers in santafe for example have more patients then they can serve.

Clear to me that the DOH doesn't run on squeaky wheel politics, it appears to be based on compassion, so if you grow outdoors, and can demonstrate a need to maintain a 24 oz supply, then by all means apply for a variance, but to try to globally change the rule isn't going to work, again, my opinion.
patient4200 It might not get accepted but If we as patients do not make any recommendations Then we can't be crying that nothing is being done to change things for the better for us I think what MV is wanting is for patients to send in something to the DOH on what YOU want changed.Just give them some input for them to consider.
