AS OF FRIDAY, THERE WILL NO LONGER BE A LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF PLANTS A MEDICAL MARIJUANA PRODUCER CAN GROW. THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN REPORTS A JUDGE ON MONDAY DENIED A REQUEST FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FOR MORE TIME TO UPDATE ITS POLICIES. ANOTHER JUDGE HAD RULED LAST FALL THAT THE STATE-IMPOSED LIMIT OF 450 PLANTS WAS TOO RESTRICTIVE AND UNSUPPORTED BY STATE LAW.
THE PRESIDENT OF ULTRA HEALTH, ONE OF THE BIGGEST MEDICAL CANNABIS PRODUCERS IN NEW MEXICO, SAYS THE RULING WILL PROVIDE MUCH GREATER ACCESS TO MEDICINE FOR PATIENTS.
