Universal Citation: 7 NM Admin Code 7.34.4.3
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

The requirements set forth herein are promulgated by the secretary of the department of health (DOH) pursuant to the authority granted under Subsection E of Section 9-7-6 NMSA 1978, and the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act, 26-2B-1 et seq., NMSA 1978. Although federal law currently prohibits any use of cannabis, the laws of several states permit the medical use and cultivation of cannabis. New Mexico joins this effort to provide for the health and welfare of its citizens. New Mexico adopts these regulations to accomplish the purpose of the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act as stated in Section 26-2B-2 NMSA 1978, "to allow for the beneficial use of medical cannabis in a regulated system for alleviating symptoms caused by debilitating medical conditions and their medical treatments," while at the same time ensuring proper enforcement of any criminal laws for behavior that has been deemed illicit by the state.
