How long until NM DOH MCP approval?

Then I guess you did not have a valid lic. from the date of your last card expiration date?That don't sound good if you would have been check at that time you would not have been in good standings with DOH? Hoping that they get this straightened out pretty quick.

Well, the renewal card shows the original issue date of July 22,2010 with a new expiration date of Sept. 19, 2012. And since he failed to send the paperwork in thirty days before his card expired, then, yes, he was partaking illegally. Hopefully all those pending will be receiving their cards soon.

CFO can you tell me how you knew that "And since he failed to send the paperwork in thirty days before his card expired". I don't remenber him saying he sent it late.

I am referring to my brother-in-law. His renewal paperwork was mailed the day his card expired rather than 30 days ahead of expiration.

OK thanks misunderstood who you were talking about

I may have killed my first post - I'll try again.

They should have received my application 37 days ago and no response yet. I assume I have to send a letter asking for status and then wait for it to go through the process.

I have a newbie question - I hope to home grow. I heard that seeds are not available - you have to buy clones. They give me permission to grow but not to buy seeds? What is the price range for clones??

[alfonso2002]

As far as I know it is taking at least 60 days at this time.Who gave you permission to grow but not buy seed's. If you have a Department of Health Personal Production License you can buy seeds or clones from LNNP's.Price range for clones is 0-unknown it depends on a lot of factors.

Just to add a little....some of the producers are focusing on quality, medicinal grade herb. Seeds are an unwanted commodity in general. However, we expect some will start focusing on selective pollination for seeds. Most of the producers have clones. Buying clones, in my opinion, is better because you KNOW you are getting a female plant. Try the strains from a LNPP that works for you and then purchase a clone (or 4). Than you don't have to worry if your seeds aren't feminized. A few years ago I bought seeds once from a foreign source and half the plants turned out to be male!!! Not worth the fortune I spent on the seeds. Personally, I prefer the clones. Good luck and welcome to the program. Your card should arrive soon.

Alright,

Update of all updates.

I got my card Saturday September 18th, 2011 (postmarked 09-16-11). The DOH received said application on June 28th, 2011. I wanted to wait until family member got their card to ensure the timeframe is accurate with mine as well as theirs, and it was close. Family member’s paperwork received by DOH on July 18th, 2011 and just received their card this afternoon, September 30th, 2011 (postmarked 09-28-11)

In addition, I received a call from the DOH Wednesday of this week in response to my “official inquiry” sent in to the DOH around August 8th. I was informed the call was concerning my “official inquiry” and was told that a card was sent out on said date and was asked if I had received said card. I was told that they were just getting to the stack of paperwork with that time frame's date on it and therefore was the result in the delay of follow up.

I hope this info is additionally helpful to anyone whose is wondering the expected wait in turnaround time.

TL;DR - Finally got my approval at almost 90 days. Family member less by aprox 2 weeks.
