I'm from Colorado and recently received both my Med Card and PPL. I was wondering how approachable the NMDOH was concerning the Med Cannabis act.

Here's a few ideas have coming from a state who in my opinion set up the MMJ program absolutely wrong.

1. Allow the excess Medicine grown by legitimate PPL card holders the ability to either provide free medicine to terminal patients. Also, allow them to sell their product to the Producers. It's pathetic that a Producer can run out of meds as easily as they do. There can be checks, balances, and quality control steps implemented to ensure proper meds are being provided to the producers.

2. Why not allow there to be a handful of Licensed, Taxable Dispensaries throughout the state - New Mexico is the 6th Least populated state in the nation and for someone who lives in S.E. New Mexico to travel to Albuquerque, or Santa Fe for Meds is absolutely ridiculous.

- I've had the pleasure of assisting a legitimate dispensary in Colorado (didn't do it for any money, nor did I accept any compensation) and it was great to help out. I can understand having strict laws, however there needs to be some leniency to ensure there is meds available for all patients. By not allowing this I can pretty much guarantee there are several patients illegally growing their own meds.

- To open a safe dispensary the major issues are Patient Safety, Dispensary Security, Quality of Meds provided, having a proper Budtender who can help patients in their selection of meds for illness, and ultimately follow all laws!!!!!

Just a few things I've been thinking about and I would love to hear others ideas.
