MEDICAL CANNABIS PROGRAM
A Program of the New Mexico Department of Health
1
Welcome to the Medical Cannabis
Program
Whether you are a new or renewing patient, PLEASE READ the information below. There
is important information about being a Medical Cannabis Patient in New Mexico and some things
may have changed since you first became a patient.
Please check your patient ID card to make sure it is correct. If there are any mistakes, contact the
office immediately at 505-827-2321.
Review the current list of dispensaries. Contact dispensaries before going there for the first time.
Ask if there is anything you need to do or bring with you before visiting them. NOTE: Take your
patient ID card and your state ID to every visit.
Patient and Caregiver ID cards expire every three years. Send in your application to renew 30-90
days before your card expires. Every year, please send in a completed Annual Certification Form at
least 30 days before the date listed on your card to continue your enrollment.
If you move to a different mailing address, or if your patient card is lost or stolen, fill out and send
in an “Information Change/Card Replacement Form” within 10 business days.
Patients who need extra help can select a Primary Caregiver. Your Primary Caregiver will need to get
a national background check, then fill out a separate application and get it signed by your doctor.
Having your patient ID card does not allow you to grow your own medical cannabis. If you want to
grow your own medical cannabis, complete the application for a Personal Production License (PPL).
If you applied and were approved for a PPL, you will receive a separate PPL card. PPL’s expire every
year and can be renewed by sending in a complete PPL application at least 30 days before the PPL
card expires.
Being a patient in the program allows you to buy up to 230 units (about 8 ounces) of cannabis over three months.
See Page 3 for more information about understanding units and tracking your use

Important New Mexico
State Laws
A complete list of the laws and rules for the Medical Cannabis Program can be found at
www.nmhealth.org/go/mcp.
If you break the law, your medical cannabis card may be suspended and there could be legal
action.
DO NOT:
• Cross state lines with cannabis or cannabis products;
• Drive or operate machinery while under the influence;
• Sell medical cannabis or cannabis products to anyone;
• Use around youth under the age of 18;
• Use cannabis in public areas like parks, buses or bus stops, near schools or
recreation/youth centers, or any other public place.
You should keep your patient ID card with you at all times. You may need to show it to police
officers if they ask for it.
Having a medical cannabis card does not protect you on federal property (like federal
checkpoints, national parks, or airports) or on reservations (including casinos or private homes).
Having a card may not protect you if you rent or if your workplace has a drug-free policy. It
also will not protect you if your employer does federal level urine testing (e.g. truck drivers for
DOT screening). Ask your employer or landlord to be sure.
Read the Safety section on the back page for more important laws about storing your products.

How Much/When Can I Buy?
Patients in the program can buy up to 230 units of cannabis and/or cannabis products over a
rolling three-month period (or 90 days). Patients can buy dried flower and many other products
like edibles, tinctures, and topicals.
What is a “Unit”?
For dried flower,
1 unit equals 1 gram
. 230 units is about 8 ounces of dried flower
product.
For edibles, tinctures, and topicals,
1 unit is 200 milligrams
(or 0.2 grams) of THC.

All items from an approved dispensary should be labeled with the total amount of THC and
number of units. If something you want to buy is not labeled, ask a store employee.
The total cannabis units you can buy is 230. It can include different items. For example, in a
90-day period, you might buy 80 units of dried flower, 75 units of tinctures, 40 units of
chocolate bars and still have 35 units left.

What is a “Rolling Three-Month Period”?
Your units are tracked every time you buy products from a dispensary. Units that you buy today
will fall off your total unit count after 90 days (based on the rolling three-month period).

You can ask at the dispensary how many units you have left before you buy anything. Then you
will know what you can buy that day.
Patient Medication Tracker
How do I know what works for me?
There are many types of products on the market with different uses and effects. The best way
to keep track of what is working or not working for you is to write it down.
The next 2 pages are to help you track the products that you use. Write down what you tried, if
it helped your symptoms and how you felt. Use a notebook to write down the information if you
run out of space.
If you try something that doesn’t feel right for you stop using it. Write it down in your tracker
then talk to your medical provider and the dispensary.
It’s a good idea for all new patients to track all the products you use over at least a one-month
period and take it with you to your next medical appointment. This will allow you to talk to your
medical provider about how specific products are working for you.
For current patients, it is a good idea to track every time you try something new and how it
made you feel.
