FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH HAS RELEASED THE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA GROWERS. THE RULE KEEPING THAT INFORMATION PRIVATE WAS CHALLENGED IN COURT BY FREELANCE JOURNALIST PETER ST. CYR, AND THE NEW MEXICO FOUNDATION FOR OPEN GOVERNMENT.
THE NAMES OF MARIJUANA PATIENTS WILL REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL. STATE LAWMAKERS APPROVED MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN 2007.
