THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS DIRECTING MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES IN THE STATE TO NOT SELL CBD FROM PLANTS PRODUCED FROM OUTSIDE NEW MEXICO. CBD IS A NON-PSYCHOACTIVE DERIVATIVE OF CANNABIS SOLD IN DISPENSARIES BY ITSELF OR MIXED WITH OTHER COMPOUNDS.
KENNY VIGIL WITH NEW MEXICO’S MEDICAL CANNABIS PROGRAM SAYS SELLING CBD PRODUCED OUTSIDE THE STATE VIOLATES THE LYNN AND ERIN COMPASSIONATE USE ACT THAT WAS PASSED IN 2007. THE DIRECTIVE HAS MANAGERS OF SOME LICENSED DISPENSARIES UPSET SINCE CBD PRODUCTS CAN BE BOUGHT AT NON-LICENSED DISPENSARIES.
