NEW MEXICO

An approved New Mexico patient may legally possess marijuana for medicinal purposes. A patient can also apply for a production license, which would allow the patient to grow their own medicine. A patient may designate a caregiver for assistance. The state issues IDs for both patients and caregivers.

As a patient, you and your caregiver may collectively possess up to a three month "adequate supply." A three month adequate supply is presumed to be no more than six ounces of usable marijuana. If you need more than this amount, your doctor should include this in your recommendation.
