The state is asking medical marijuana users and producers about their experiences with the program, as there seems to be a lack of supply. Michael Innis served his country in the Middle East and was in a bad car accident when he was younger. He uses medical marijuana treatments for his post-traumatic stress disorder. "The PTSD attacks, it calms them down, if not stops them," he said.
Thousands of New Mexicans are prescribed medical marijuana for a number of conditions, but according to a survey commissioned by the state's Health Department, the demand far outweighs the supply. The survey got feedback from both suppliers and patients. Almost all who use medical marijuana said it's beneficial for their condition, but in the comment section many expressed frustration in getting what they need, according to the research.
Some wrote they didn't have access to the medical cannabis strains beneficial to their condition. Others wrote cannabis at the dispensary is expensive and not always there. Some even wrote they'd hope to produce their own and not have to fully rely on dispensaries, as half the time they're out of the medicine. The survey highlights some disparities in the program, with patients saying the cost is skyrocketing because of the limited availability.
