Quality of medicine?!?!

[alfonso2002]

CFO the back of your card states that. But I will go check the regs. Wow that would be nice if that wording was not in the regs.

â??Adequate supplyâ?� means an amount of cannabis, derived solely from an intrastate source and

in a form approved by the department, possessed by a qualified patient or collectively possessed by a qualified patient and the qualified patientâ??s primary caregiver, that is determined by the department to be no more than reasonably necessary to ensure the uninterrupted availability of cannabis for a period of three (3) months. An adequate supply shall not exceed six (6) ounces of useable cannabis, and with a personal production license only, four (4) mature plants and twelve (12) seedlings, or a three (3) month supply of topical treatment. An amount greater than six (6) ounces of useable cannabis may be allowed, at the departmentâ??s discretion, upon proof of special need as evidenced by a practitioner letter explaining why a larger dose is indicated. Any such allowance shall be reviewed for approval by a medical director designated by the department, who shall consider standards for exceptions to the adequate supply requirements that are approved by the advisory board. A qualified patient and primary caregiver may also possess cannabis seeds.

Alfonso currently there are no real standards for Organic Hydro.......
look at the amount of heavy metals in most organic hydro nutrients and they are at pretty high levels...
That's not organic IMO.
Advanced Nutrients have some of the highest levels of heavy metals yet they call it organic>>yeah right that's just BS marketing

Real organic meds grown in organic soil will always be superior quality unless you've got a noob grower
that can't grow in organic soil>>this is the case for some of NM nonprofit producers>>Some are still growing mids at best....

I've tried meds from 14 different producers and while some were excellent most samples were mid grade at best,machine trimmed beasters!
some samples from New Mexicann were pure schwag.......1 bud of Ravens Ridge had mold..........
This is not my idea of organic meds, but then I've lived in Cali and Colorado and I expect the same quality of meds here in NM.
I have consistently found Organic meds here from 1 producer........

Beg to differ with you but "Real organic meds grown in organic soil will always be superior quality unless you've got a noob grower"
growing in easiestis the easyist way treallyw.Do you reahandlingo be handeling shit in your INDOOR garden? Give me a break If read your lables you know what is in your nutes as for 100% organic good luck with your buds or meds. No disrespect but every grower grows what they think is right.

Thanks Alf. I found everything you just posted through the 3 months. It is the rest of it that I cannot find. The 6 ounces is on the back of the patient card, but not on the back of the PPL. From what source are you quoting the rest of your post?

[alfonso2002]

Wow, you have purchased from 14 out of 25 (now 23) producers?! That's great. Wish all of us could do that. I am unable to travel to Albuquerque or pay the extra 20 - 30 for delivery fees. But the meds in southern NM are damn good.

I don't expect, nor will I for some time, the same quality of meds from the NM LNPPs as from those in CA or CO. Growers in both of those states have had more time to hone their skills. Give the LNPPs 10-15 years and they will be on par or better than CA or CO. (Actually, I don't think it will take that long....some are already there after only a few years.)

As far as schwag from NMNM....they are one of the few LNPPs having their meds tested. You must have purchased from them before they implemented testing.

So, who is the one producer from whom you have consistently found organic meds? initials will work if you don't want to state their full name.

I know of one but there are more Greenleaf.

New Rule

Thanks. I was in 7.34.4 and finally found it in 7.34.3 but hadn't gone to 7.34.2. Sheeesh....so many sections to state the same thing. I guess we need to petition for a rules change for a 12 month supply rather than 3 months. That way we can grow our own for the entire year. But their 3 month supply assumes using only 2 ounces per month. I know a patient that goes through an ounce a week. So he has to grow indoors which is more costly and have a perpetual garden. He can and does, but there are other patients who can only grow outdoors. Which is why we have the LNPPs. Which is also why the DOH is finally doing some site visits of the patients with licenses....too many are breaking the rules and growing more than is allowed. I have heard of some of the patients selling their meds, too. Which of course is against the rules, but they figure they won't get caught. Also heard of people buying from the low-priced Albuquerque producers and reselling too. Haven't seen any of the $8 meds. Has anyone here? Quality?

alfonso I brew ACT and make my own vermicompost bro!
I don't handle shit or shitty bottled nutes!
I do VEGANICS! read about it , you may learn something........

look up 7.34.2.7 B of the medical advisory board rules and regs..........
this is for DOH for considering applicants>It says it's a factor in considering applicants

find me where it says nonprofit producers must grow organically?

And yeah I'm sure some patients with PPL's are growing Chem weed>>but I don't care about that as I don't buy meds from them,I only buy from licensed nonprofit producers!

Alfonso posted the link to section 7.34.2 and the section you indicate is the definitions section and doesn't say anything about organics. The section I previously posted, as you state, says "organic growing methods" would be a (as you state) a "factor in considering" applications. In reading between the lines, I would say that is a "must". Otherwise, why would it be "considered" in the first place? See 7.34.4.8.C(4)

Now, veganics....that's a whole different thing as you are aware. Are there any LNPPs growing veganically?

I heard their genetics went to Mother Earth. You might want to get registered with them if you aren't already. They can only deliver in DAC due to the ICE checkpoints, but patients can take the risk themselves. So if you are up north, you can travel and pick it up, but getting back through the checkpoint is on you.
