Thousands
of people suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are worried about a
local psychiatrist's petition to remove PTSD as a qualifying condition from the
New Mexico Medical Cannabis Program.
Nearly half of all the people enrolled in
the program suffer from PTSD. Many patients who are qualified under this
condition are also veterans. Close to 3,300 patients at risk for losing access
to the medicinal drug.
Psychiatrist Dr. William Ulwelling is petitioning to
remove PTSD from the list of qualifying conditions, citing a lack of scientific
evidence.
The Medical Cannabis Advisory Board will review the petition on
November 7. The interim health secretary will ultimately make the final
decision.
