US NM: State’s Cannabis Program Continues To Grow

Cibola County Beacon, 14 Jun 2013 – The State of New Mexico’s Medical Cannabis Program (MCP) was started in 2007 to provide patients suffering from certain specific health issues another option for treating the effects of those health conditions and the adverse effects of pharmaceutical treatments. Being only the 12th state to pass legislation approving the use of medical marijuana, there was much initial skepticism regarding the program, yet it continues to grow. As of April 30, it had served 9,090 patients across the state.
