How long until NM DOH MCP approval?

Not only can the price be lowered but the quality needs to be all medical grade, some of these places ive been to have sold me some poor medical product !! Not going to name names but Im sure Im not the only one supprised about quality of our medicine !! And as far as getting you card, because of the flood of applicants its now taken from feb 2011-still waiting for many people I know of, so can be longer than 4 months !! All you can do is email and call the hell out of them so they make this a priority !!

The participants in the program are compassionate! I guess not everyone is aware that the Medical Cannabis Program receives very little if any funding right now. The people that run the program are "borrowed" from the Harm Reduction Program. The producers ALL have a minimum of three patients on their board which constitutes more than 50% of the required number of board members (5 are required). Board members serve uncompensated. The numbers sound high, but not every producer can generate a pound a plant....especially indoors. Growing organically is a lot more expensive than sowing some seeds in the soil and letting mother nature take her course. Please be patient.

. Hey Ollie! I thought you only grow your own. ;-)

Learned this week that part of the problem regarding the delay is due to the cannabis expo. There were a lot of people there charging a lot of money and also telling patients they would get their cards in a week!!! Please! We all know the mail can take that long!!! But seriously... How can anyone expect three people to process over 1,000 applications in a short period of time. They were able to borrow more people and have been processing applications in the last few weeks. Be patient and compassionate to them too. They are required to answer the emails and the phones so if people continually do both, then they won't have time to process the apps because they are busy with calls and emails!

Ok I am at day 63 of the confirmed receipt of my packet at the DOH. I know for a fact that they cashed my check on
10-7-2011. That is like 19 days ago. Wouldn't compassion mean getting people in pain their medice in a timely manner? Wouldn't compassion mean trying to get the patients taken care of?

Sorry a little pissed and frustrated that my card is not here yet....

BTW do I detect a little tension in here amungst a few posters? lol

Again the system is backed up right now but DOH is doing the best that they can. If it was me and I had sent my renewal in and know that they had gotten it and I needed to put plants in or needed to do anthing with my garden I would do it and not worry about it.My renewal did come about a month late and that was about the time they started to get overloaded so ????

I am into week 7 on waiting for my renewal. I am lapsed and without medicine still. I have been having to go heavy on the opiates and sedatives. I am tired and upset a good deal of the time. They keep me dizzy and frustrated. I leaned over to to grab something from the bath tub corner and fell in sideways pushing my neck to the side really hard, so now I have to dip into my muscle relaxers as well. I want to call but I don't want to bog down the DOH with even more things to answer and do. Then at other times I feel like leaving them a scathing message, however this is no way to treat people who can approve or deny me. Every producer email I get seems to have a sale going on right now. I see what I could be getting but for lack of one little card, I can not have it. And that really sucks.

[alfonso2002]

Sorry about your situation CosmicScorpio patients like you are the ones that are suffering the most from this delay in processing of cards.But not to worry the prices are on a slide now There is even one producer in Albuquerque that has all there strains at 200.00 an oz.Also one that has the interests of the patient grower in mind and has come out with a system for them to get the most out of there grow any more info you'll have to Friend me and then you can see my contact info

Hey everybody, been trolling these boards for a good 2 months now since right before i sent my app in for my license. I sent in my app on October 5th, received in Santa Fe next day air on the 6th. Received my card yesterday in the mail, 11/15/11. Roughly 40 days. Not bad considering the time frames I've read about on here. The thing I've noticed....most people that are complaining about their card taking so long ALSO applied for the PPL at the time they applied for a new license. I did NOT. I highly believe that this is a huge factor in determining how long your card takes to arrive. Hope this helped some!
