It took years of constant pressure to get the dispensaries to carry medicinal edibles and when they did, it was mostly hard candy and cookies.
Case in point: Diabetic and cancer patients cannot and do not want to eat sugar especially high fructose corn syrup.
There was no hospice back then, but plenty of cancer patients suffering from the side effects of the chemotherapy who wanted relief from the side effects.
So that was 40-plus years ago, and here we are now, New Mexico is about to launch legalization and recreational use come April 1, 2022.
You may have heard, that as of July 1, 2021, any 18-year-old New Mexican resident can now grow up to 12 plants for personal use .
It has been my experience that growing for personal use is not only rewarding and therapeutic but less expensive.
