Marijuana rules could seed a new industry [NM]

Marijuana rules could seed a new industry
December 7, 2007 - bizjournals.com

Proposed rules for medical marijuana providers could open the door to private nonprofit or for-profit producers in New Mexico.

Since the state's medical marijuana registry was created July 1, patients have had three ways to obtain marijuana: by growing it themselves; by contracting with "designated caregivers," who grow or otherwise obtain the plant and are each allowed to provide doses of the herb to at most four patients; or by buying it off the street. While street drugs have high, black-market prices, the designated caregivers are not allowed to charge patients any more than the cost of "supplies or utilities associated with the possession of medical use marijuana."

The proposed rules could open the field of providers to private entities that would establish licit market pricing, raising concerns of a capitalistic free-for-all similar to the market in California, where 300 "pot clubs" offer a marijuana-connoisseur's delight of exotic varieties, often at prices beyond the means of needy patients. While only nonprofit operations are protected by California law, some clubs are reputed to be making millions.

"California's gotten really out of control," said Melissa Milam, coordinator of New Mexico's medical cannabis program. One bulwark against this distopian future is the much tighter restriction on conditions that can qualify a patient for a medical marijuana card. In California, a doctor can prescribe marijuana for anyone he believes will be helped by it. In New Mexico, only patients suffering pain as a result of one of seven conditions can qualify, short of a special petition to a medical advisory board. The board will look at proposals for additions to the list every six months.

People being so selfish with marijuana cultivation kindof goes against the spirit of legalization, in general. I hope that when it -does- happen, it doesn't simply turn into another starbucks, where people have to pay 4 dollars for a 7 cent coffee.

Well, that's basically how it is now, so if I'm paying the same price it won't bother me nearly as much if it's legal.
I'm just generally unhappy with the trend that you have to be in severe pain, or have a fatal illness to be considered worthy of marijuana.

Dammit, it's fun,a nd I want to smoke it without being mortally wounded!

See, marijuana is too easy to grow, thats why they CAN'T make it into a starbucks fiasco... Thats why it will always be illegal, because they can make large amounts of money off it. If it were legalized they would have no way to make the money. They tried it with prohibition and made jack shit off alcohol, except some big political families made their millions then they legalized it and controlled it. They can't with MJ so their only option is to keep it illegal!
