No. The state of New Mexico has officially stopped issuing physical medical marijuana cards for its registered medical marijuana users. All patients registered in the state now use an electronic card from the NMDOH Online Patient Portal. The electronic card works in the exact same manner as the previous physical card, and it is accepted at all licensed dispensaries in New Mexico.
As a result, you do not have to report anything if you lose your medical marijuana card, as it is no longer physically issued by the state. All you have to do is log into your online patient portal and retrieve your electronic card. Save it on your mobile phone or other device to present it electronically.
No. There is no charge for accessing or re-downloading your electronic medical marijuana card in the state of New Mexico. This was once a $50 fee associated with the old card system, but it is no longer applicable because the physical card system has been phased out. You can download your digital medical marijuana card using the Online Patient Portal without paying anything anytime you wish.
Yes. New Mexico dispensaries are more than ready to handle electronic medical marijuana cards that have been downloaded onto a patient’s phone or other handheld device. All you need to do is present your digital medical marijuana card, which is available through the NMDOH Online Patient Portal, as well as a valid government-issued identification.
