CHANGES PROPOSED FOR NEW MEXICO MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROGRAM ARE BEING SCALED BACK. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS A STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL TOLD LEGISLATORS THURSDAY IN TAOS PUEBLO THAT THE AGENCY IS SCRAPPING TWO PROPOSALS BLASTED BY BOTH POT PRODUCERS AND USERS.
ONE WOULD HAVE REQUIRED BACKGROUND CHECKS ON PATIENTS APPROVED TO GROW MARIJUANA. THE OTHER WOULD HAVE CUT DOWN ON THE NUMBER OF POT PLANTS ALLOWED FOR PERSONAL CONSUMPTION. ANOTHER CHANGE WILL BE MADE TO A PROPOSED NEW FEE STRUCTURE FOR LICENSED PRODUCERS.
