Introduction
New Mexico’s medical cannabis program is one of the most patient-friendly in the country. The state has a long history of decriminalizing and legalizing cannabis for medical use, dating back to 1978.

In order to get a medical cannabis card in New Mexico, you must first be a resident of the state. You will also need to obtain a written recommendation from a licensed physician stating that you would benefit from the use of medical cannabis. Once you have these items, you can apply for your card through the New Mexico Department of Health. There is a small application fee, but qualified low-income patients may be eligible for a waiver.
