help growin need help

[CFO]

Can anyone tell me if we can start a collective in NM. I want to get a few people together in one location to growtheir meds. I know that is done in other states. But my sister has a 2400 sq ft house that is empty that would be great. A place where people that can't grow anywhere else can come and grow and someone would be there 24/7 to watch over things.

The first place you should look to is the NM DOH website for answers; you will find the rules there. Collectives are not permitted under the program. Individuals may apply for a personal production license but must grow on property owned by the applicant. Stated within the PPL application; refer to the app for exact wording. The Licensed Nonprofit Producers grow and dispense the organicaly grown medical cannabis to licensed patients and caregivers. Hope this helps.

I think that It would be allowed if it was done as a Nonprofit but the cost for such a venture would be high. P.s> not too sure if it could be done in a cost effective manner.There is no ban on Collectives .

Actually we could accomplish this. A Collective would be nice, and I would like to persue this. I know we all want to do this legal! Right? A collective would have to be with the people involved and thats it. Look me up and add me to SKYPE. I do not use yahoo anymore. we can chat more about it later.

Actually, collectives are not allowed. I checked with the DOH and they have already revoked PPLs of several patients who were growing on property that they did not own. Some were trying an end-around and getting together on a lease. That was disallowed as well. Additionally, any registered patient obtaining their meds from anyone other than a licensed nonprofit producer or growing it themselves with a PPL is breaking the law and can lose their card. So if we want to be "legal" we need to follow all the rules, not just the ones we want. The DOH will be hiring new people after the LNPPs pay their renewal fees. So everyone with a PPL can expect a site visit during the next year.

I meant to say growing without a PPL (not with). Also, there are patients selling to other patients. If they are caught, they will lose their cards. Both as a patient and their PPL.

Did you ask if they had applied for a non profit and then set it up as a collective if that would work? But like I said before the costs would be prohibitive with the renewal fees that also have to be paid.
