what kills me is no doctors know this and they dismiss any approach about heading my medical board out of hand - and I'm really in no position to enlighten them being doctors and all. Every professional i've approached so far acts as if to sign on as a medical board chairman to a non profit medical marijuana facility would mean instant professional decertification but that is not the case. In fact, no one in the world would even know it unless one decided to tell. I sent a letter snail mail to the state board asking for clarification straight up, no surprise they are not quick getting back. they don't want to put anything in to writing. everyone is scared to death. some doctors and nurses were found because at least eleven non profits have already submitted applications to the state and you have to have a medical board chairman in order to submit an application.

i'm sick of the fear and hiding and ignorance man i'm going in straight up light of day hello i'm here to help now fuck 'em all. I already picked out my balloons for the grand opening of BSMMR on them to fill with helium and hand out to the kids. Professional photographer, letter to the local press as well as invitation to the local indian reservation, the locals, including the local sherrif's dept. I'll also be sending letter to the DEA along with invitations to the grand opening. I won't be growing anything right at that time but will have everything set up and a license first. i'm sure i'll be the only commercial grower in NM not hiding in the shadows for all their worth frightend to death of criminals, feds and do gooders. I'm afraid of all that and MS too but fear is natural while overcoming it is human. time to remove the basket from the lamp my brothers and sisters

i've noticed something profound in terms of MM and legalization in that our older populace now has a totally different view of marijuana than even a few short years ago. so many people in their 60's even now have used or at least been around marijauna and they just don't see it as this evil weed that will kill us all. while they may not smoke and may vary on their opinions about whether or not smoking weed is a good idea, they don't have the knee jerk reaction of even their parents generation. The time has come for the cannabis train to leave the station, man

you know i don't blame the doctors its all bullshit. it's just a plant and should be legal but trying to make it a medicine and involving western doctors is an unfortunate but I hope productive evolutionary step - when a doctor prescibes a pharmeceutical medication the doctor is relatively certain that the dose and quality are assured. Really, as a doctor, he or she would have no earthy idea what we might go on to consume when a "presciption" is given for medical marijuana. The state of New Mexico spent two years putting together a program here and there are no provisions for any kind of quality control at all other than one's facility is subject to inspection by the state health department, whatever that means?
If I were a doctor I would want to see strict batch control and random laboratory testing of the finished bud before sale
