New Mexico Ok's New Medical Marijuana Farm Near Roswell

The New Mexico Department of Health has approved several applications to grow medical marijuana in the state, including a hotly debated proposed farm near Roswell.

An attorney for Pecos Valley Pharmaceuticals told the Roswell Daily Record this week that the company was a recipient of the sole license granted in Chaves County.

The proposal by Pecos Valley Pharmaceuticals seeks to turn a former dairy processing plant near Roswell into a place to grow marijuana. That plan has drawn scrutiny from some Chavez County commissioners.

In addition to the license for Chaves County, the state health department also approved eight licenses for Bernalillo County, one for Santa Fe County, one for Taos County and one for Valencia County.
