SOME CHANGES FOR NEW MEXICO’S MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROGRAM. FOLLOWING A COURT RULING THAT NEW MEXICO’S LIMIT ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA PLANTS WAS ARBITRARY, THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH IS TEMPORARILY EXPANDING THE CAP. THE NUMBER OF PLANTS A MEDICAL CANNABIS PRODUCER CAN HAVE WILL GO FROM 450 TO 25-HUNDRED…BUT ONLY UNTIL AUGUST 28TH. OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, THE DEPARTMENT WILL DETERMINE JUST WHAT THE FINAL PLANT COUNT SHOULD BE.
FOR YEARS PRODUCERS AND PATIENTS HAVE VOICED CONCERNS ABOUT THE SUPPLY OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN THE STATE.
