Medical Cannabis Enrollment Puts Pressure on Supplies

PATIENT ENROLLMENT IN NEW MEXICO’S MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROGRAM GREW RAPIDLY LAST MONTH. ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, MORE THAN 16 HUNDRED PATIENTS BECAME ELIGIBLE TO USE MEDICAL CANNABIS FOR THINGS LIKE CHRONIC PAIN, CANCER, AND P-T-S-D. THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PATIENTS TO MORE THAN 72-THOUSAND.

BUT ALBUQUERQUE-BASED ULTRA HEALTH, NEW MEXICO’S LARGEST MARIJUANA SELLER, SAYS THEY CAN’T KEEP UP WITH DEMAND DUE TO STATE LIMITS ON PRODUCTION. THOSE LIMITS ARE CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW.
