The only reason I moved from Texas to New Mexico three years ago was for this state's Medical Cannabis Program. Before I chose Albuquerque, I did my research. The only thing I wasn't able to research was the quality of the dispensaries. I didn't think there would be a problem finding good bud at...
PPL stands for personal production license, something patients have to get before they can grow their own. You can find the application for a PPL on the New Mexico Department of Health's website (nmhealth dot org).

It appears that New MexiCann is being allowed to expand its operation before those like Organtica, who have been waiting for years for the Department of Health to add producers. And what do you know, New MexiCann snatched up the well-to-do area of Taos – which was Organtica's first choice for a...

I appreciate the update, and I'm glad the program is working for you. Sounds like you had a good harvest, too. I'm happy for you, lavieboo, I really am.
And I'm trying not to be bitter or angry about not having enough money to renew (even though I moved from Texas to join this program), or...
From New MexiCann newsletter of 1/11/2015:
"Those times have now changed. The Dept. no longer requires advance orders and with increased production, the shortage has ended." Len Goodman
Now that the shortages are over, how come the price hasn't dropped?

There are few things more expensive than dispensary prices... I read about one personal grower in New Mexico who priced her harvest at less than a dollar a gram.
Whenever patients make complaints about the medical cannabis program in New Mexico, that is pretty much the response: Grow your own...
Wondering if having 6 surgeries in 9 months can cause chronic pain? Sounds logical, but it's not like you'll hear your doctor or surgeon confess to that. And it doesn't sound like the writer has done much research on the causes of chronic pain -- surgery trauma is a fairly common cause.

Even though I can no longer purchase from the dispensaries here in New Mexico, occasionally I check in to see what's on the menu. In an email newsletter I received today, SWOP advertises a new strain:
Flo
50/50 Hybrid
THC % 20.24, CBD %0.70
Most of the strains at SWOP have a fairly high CBD...
As reported yesterday by Bloomberg:
Drug Batch Tainted? Just Hit Delete and Ship It to the U.S.
A review of FDA documents by Bloomberg News found that similar actions on quality tests have happened at dozens of other companies' plants across India that make drug ingredients and pills for...
Dude, I think I can smell Colorado bud from here in New Mexico...
Is there anyone that would finance a chronic pain patient's move from New Mexico to Colorado? Because... karma? Maybe the DEA could create a program like that? As a pain patient who cannot afford to renew in the Medical...
