Section 7.34.3.9 - QUANTITY OF USABLE CANNABIS THAT MAY BE POSSESSED BY A QUALIFIED PATIENT OR PRIMARY CAREGIVER

A.Maximum quantity: A qualified patient and a qualified patient's primary caregiver may collectively purchase within any three-month period a quantity of usable cannabis no greater than 425 total units. For purposes of department rules, this quantity is deemed an adequate supply. (For ease of reference: 425 units is equivalent to 425 grams, or approximately 15 ounces, of dried usable cannabis plant material.) A qualified patient and a primary caregiver may possess the amounts of cannabis permitted in accordance with the Cannabis Regulation Act, Sections 26-2C-1 through 26-2C-42N MSA 1978. Once commercial cannabis sales are authorized by the cannabis control division to begin in accordance with Subsection K of Section 26-2C-6 NMSA 1978, qualified patients and primary caregivers will be able to make commercial purchases above the adequate supply limit, in accordance with the Cannabis Regulation Act.

B.Calculation of units: For purposes of department rules, one unit of usable cannabis shall consist of one gram of the dried leaves and flowers of the female cannabis plant, or 0.2 grams (200 milligrams) of THC for cannabis-derived products.
