Medical marijuana dispensaries in New Mexico enjoyed a 77% increase in customers in the past year.
New Mexico’s registered patients totaled 45,347 as of Nov. 30, a net gain of 19,650 over the previous year, according to the Las Cruces Sun-News.
Here’s what you need to know:
- This is New Mexico’s largest increase in patients over a one-year period since the program launched in 2007.
- The program is on pace to hit the 50,000-patient mark by the end of the year.
- MMJ numbers increased even though the health department disenrolled thousands of patients, citing “legacy data” that needed to be removed from the state database.
- The state’s medical cannabis board voted in April to expand its conditions list beyond the 20 acceptable ailments, but the plan failed to come to fruition.
