New Mexico medical marijuana card

New Mexico medical marijuana card evaluation online

New Mexico makes the medical route affordable: the Department of Health charges nothing for the patient card, and it can last up to three years. Adult-use cannabis is legal, but medical buyers skip the state's cannabis excise tax. After a practitioner certifies your qualifying condition, you apply for a registry card, and out-of-state patients can take part under program rules.
