ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The New Mexico Department of Health has been ordered by a federal judge to provide official designation for two medical marijuana dispensaries owned by a nonprofit pot producer.
The Albuquerque Journal reported Monday that a judge also told the department to issue the appropriate license amendments to New Mexico Top Organics-Ultra Health Inc. for any proposed dispensaries, past or future, that meet the statutory criteria.
Ultra Health already has built dispensaries in Los Lunas and Espanola.
According to the Journal, the health department objected to the Los Lunas dispensary in part because the store is located inside a senior living facility and felt the Espanola store didn’t demonstrate it could stock an additional dispensary location.
Health Department officials say they’re reviewing the judge’s decision and considering possible steps for appeal.
