Cannabis patients under 18 are required to have a registered primary caregiver and submit the same forms in addition to the patient’s birth certificate and parental consent form.
Completed applications can be mailed or dropped off to the New Mexico Department of Health’s Medical Cannabis Program.
To qualify as your caregiver, they must:
- be responsible for the well-being and management of the patient’s medical cannabis treatment

There is no fee for submitting a caregiver application.
