Proposal would allow patients to buy 16 seeds every three months

New Mexico’s approach to medical marijuana is one of the most strictly regulated in the country, but patients here share problems with those in less regulated states when it comes to lawfully obtaining seeds or plants.

About half of the 14 states that allow medical marijuana require individuals or their caregivers to grow the drug privately. But the states say nothing about where those growers are supposed to get the seeds or seedling plants to get started.
