Navigating The Application Process
Your doctor must certify, (on the application provided by the NM Medical Cannabis Program), that you have an eligible medical condition, that the condition is chronic and debilitating, and that they have discussed the potential risks and benefits of medical cannabis usage with you and believe that the benefit outweighs any health risks in your case. This recommendation may need to be accompanied by further proof of your debilitating medical condition, depending on the condition, such as physician records. The records are not necessary for your renewal.
Recommendations must be submitted to the New Mexico Department of Health along with the completed application. Application forms are available at http://nmhealth.org/about/mcp/svcs/ or can be acquired by calling (505) 827-2321.
What’s Legal And What’s Not
As a patient, you and your caregiver may collectively possess up to a three month “adequate supply.” A three month adequate supply is delegated to be no more than eight ounces of usable marijuana, at this time. If you need more than this amount, your doctor should include this in your recommendation.
