Question:
Can anyone tell me if medicaid in New Mexico will pay for medicinal marijuana?
I suffer from chronic pain and my doctor recently informed me that medicinal marijuana became legal in New Mexico and I may be a good candidate.The problem with this is, I am on medicaid because I can not afford to pay out of pocket for my prescriptions, so of course this creates a problem for me as the cost of a days supply of this medication will cost around $60.00. So, if anyone out there can give me an answer to my question I would greatly appreciate it.

My mother has glaucoma and they offered it to her but she turned them down.
They DO give it for pain...my aunt was offered it when she had cancer because nothing was working and the doctors wanted her as comfortable as they could get her.
But, you have to be in A LOT of pain for that so I dunno. Call up your company the number should be on your card.
