About The Author:
I am very proactively involved with New Mexico’s Medical Cannabis Community through my advocacy and activism for all in our community. At the Spring 2017, Medical Cannabis Advisory Board meeting, I organized and authored over 20 different petition in hopes of expanding current patient rights, producer rights and adding new health condition into the program. I have also launched a positive inclusive grassroots movement for all in our medical cannabis community, the LECUA Patients Coalition of New Mexico, in which the advocacy is guided by my advocate training from my membership with Americans For Safe Access. In addition to promoting awareness for the benefits of cannabis for the public at large; I am also a member of American Cannabis Nurses Association and currently looking into Nursing programs with intentions to enroll and the pursue the American Cannabis Nurses Associations course curriculum to complement my Exercise Science background. I also recently attended the International Cannabis Research Conference 2017 that was held at Colorado State University - Pueblo’s new ICR Facility. Later in the summer I will also be attending the Cannabis Law Institute in Denver, Colorado.

The LECUA Patients Coalition of New Mexico is the only patient led group in the State with a primary focus on medical cannabis, that operates in full compliance of the Act, providing patient-community advocacy, and the only group that has no outside financial influences from program producers or ancillary businesses in the medical cannabis program.

I also use my very strong health & wellness background from my exercise science studies, and I am writing some articles and submitting them to medical cannabis publications, as Cannabis News Journal with a central theme of most all my articles pertaining to the fitness, health, diet and wellness of the patient in relation to use of medical cannabis and how individuals can improve health with the benefits of cannabis & other positive lifestyle adaptations. My goals when I write are to always provide something that will Unite, Network, Grow, Inform and Educate the reader with hopes each one is able to take one good thing from the article to improve their own life.

Establishing the LECUA Patients Coalition Of New Mexico is a great way to formally bring together like-minded activists in OUR medical cannabis community to work together toward ensuring safe access to medical cannabis. LECUA Patients Coalition Of New Mexico will provide a state network of activists and goals to provide a national coalition network and staff; who work together on a regular basis to achieve shared goals. A great grassroots movement brings together vibrant activists in an environment of mutual respect, shared responsibility, and constructive political activism and creates a space for new advocates to plug into the movement. The ideal grassroots movement is networked into the larger community and is a constructive voice for patients, future patients and providers of medical cannabis in the state of New Mexico.

The best grassroots movements combine the art of conversation with skilled activism. They are considered by elected officials to be a principled voice and smart resource for community leaders who are interested in addressing the question of medical cannabis.
The primary focus is on Medical Cannabis, LECUA Patients Coalition Of New Mexico is solely focused on expanding safe access to medical cannabis in New Mexico.

This means that LECUA Patients Coalition Of New Mexico position does support legalization of cannabis for nonmedical therapeutic purposes or on related issues, such as incarceration or sentencing standards for recreational drug use; this support will be to provide advocacy for policy writing that first & foremost protects and improves the spirit and intent of the LECUA, 2007, protects and improves the Medical Cannabis Program in said legislation, and  improves the State Department of Health Medical Cannabis Rules & Regulations.

"The American Medical Association has no objection to any reasonable regulation of the medicinal use of cannabis and its preparations and derivatives. It does pretest, however, against being called upon to pay a special tax, to use special order forms in order to procure the drug, to keep special records concerning its professional use and to make special returns to the Treasury Department officials, as a condition precedent to the use of cannabis in the practice of medicine."
