Hi, I'm an Albuquerque native suffering from "grand mal" epilepsy, and I am currently a registered member of the NMDOH medical cannabis program. I've opted to use cannabis instead of pharmaceutical anticonvulsants to control and treat my seizures because of the terrible side-effects and general ineffectiveness of the many varieties of pills I've tried.

I've been aware of this program since it's creation several years ago, but only recently made efforts to join because of what I had been hearing about consistent product shortages and the general lack of access to quality medicine through the program at that time. Recently I have come under the impression that it is becoming more possible to obtain truly high-grade herbal medicine through several reputable producers (the obfuscation and clandestine nature of the program still frustrate and confuse me, so I'm not sure how specific I can really be here); however, my first transaction with a "non-profit producer" was actually rather disappointing, leaving me with mediocre, seedy, shwaggy cannabis, for a rate above the going street value.

I hope that through this website, there will emerge some way for people like me to find access to medicinal-grade cannabis without having to deal with the unregulated profiteers who are selling "medical cannabis" for the wrong reasons, and deceiving medically ill patients out of their money with sub-par medicine.

As I mentioned, I find the obfuscation and secrecy surrounding producers in New Mexico very much an obstacle to the kind of open, community-based discourse that will be necessary to arrange a truly viable system here. Never the less, in order for a discussion to take place, we will have to have some means of referring to the producers, so in the future I will plan on using their initials and possibly their city to distinguish who I'm talking about (I believe this will satisfy the non-disclosure i have agreed to concerning the producers, unless I am otherwise informed)

I look forward to frank and honest discussion of the issues of medical cannabis use in New Mexico,

-Marc
