Santa Fe, New Mexico — State officials say no matter where marijuana is grown it is not eligible for New Mexico True certification.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that Ultra Health President Duke Rodriguez says he has been denied the chance to participate in the New Mexico Tourism Department initiative despite the fact that his product — medical marijuana — meets the requirements.
The program is aimed at promoting products made, raised or grown in New Mexico.
Rodriguez, who used to be the Human Services Department Secretary, says he applied for entry into the True program earlier this year.
Tourism Department spokeswoman Heather Briganti says the program was designed for products like wool blankets or raised beef that can be enjoyed and taken home and medical marijuana does not fall in that category.
