New Mexico: How to get a medical marijuana permit


New Mexico, the land of enchantment offers its citizens
protection to use a magical medicine (Google Images)

Living in New Mexico offers more than beautiful sunsets and amazing art. You can also get a permit for medical marijuana if you are chronically sick or severely injured. However, as one of the youngest programs in the country, the resources available for patients in New Mexico are equally limited.

The New Mexico Cannabis Program offers permits for the state’s sick, injured, and dying population. To obtain a permit you must first get a doctor’s recommendation, or any nurse practitioner who is allowed to prescribe medications.

If you need a recommendation for a permit in New Mexico, contact any of the following clinics/organizations:

Santa Fe
Pain Management of New Mexico
505-982-4371
www.medicalmarijuana.net

Albuquerque
Dr. Nardacci
505-345-7383

Allay of New Mexico
505-977-4041

Once you have a permit you can contact SWOP (www.southwestorganicproducers.com), who offers patient delivery service.

    Hi, I'm Dr. Nardacci's daughter. The number you listed is dad's cell phone number. He's had to keep telling people to call his secretaries' numbers for an appointment. The office number is [505] 345-7383. The machine will give you the secretaries' numbers. Please change the cell number to the office number. I've been trying to help dad find out where people have been finding his cell, so we'd love to know if you've seen any other sites with that number. Thank you! ^_^
