What I find infuriating about this whole ordeal is the fact that were this diabetes medication or hypertension medication I wouldn't be dealing with this crap. Should I call them, write them, give them the finger? What recourse do I have?
Hey Sam
Perhaps people who viewed just didn't have any solutions for you and did't respond. First, it could be that this company you used to help with your paperwork is the reason there is a delay. I have never heard of them, but know that there were some people at last year's expo that were helping people with their paperwork and all it did was delay the process. I have never heard of anyone receiving "registered mail" from DOH stating they have received your paperwork. If you are referring to the little green "return receipt" card, that just indicates that SOMEONE at DOH received your paperwork. Since it has already been 7 weeks, I suggest calling them. They are some pretty nice people.

And you are correct, if cannabis were off the controlled substance list you would not be encountering these issues. Just be thankful that you are in a state that at least recognizes the benefits. The NM program is still in its infancy. Give it some time....things will get better. I do wish people would cease trying to politicize everything. It was a Republican that introduced legislation in NM in the first place....NOT a democrat. Party affiliation has nothing to do with this program. The Act was passed by a bi-partisan legislature and so was the funding bill earlier this year.

Let's work together to make the program better and stop criticizing. I get tired of bitching without solutions.

Welcome to the program and keep us posted how it goes with getting your card.
