I am long term planning where I want to live given all of my health issues.

Initially I was looking into Colorado, but I know weather shifts mess with me, particularly barometric pressure. Numerous people confirmed weather shifts occur throughout any given day.

So I was looking into Albuquerque, New Mexico. Yes, I get its hot and nights are cool. My goal is to visit this year.

My goal is since Florida, my current state is crazy with opiod restrictions. Yes, I realize its federal and pushed by the DEA and other agencies, but states like FL impose additional restrictions targeting the chronically ill and doctors that want to help patients, but can't. I was looking at these CO and NM for recreational MMJ and the MAID program for whenever I get my 6 month diagnosis, because at that point it us hospice or MAID for me. I am on medical MMJ in Florida, but I have zero faith it will remain long and I suspect that pain clinics will get shut down.

I still have time to save money and plan. What I am hoping for is for chronically ill to chime in that live there to see if the place is worth the move.

For example, is the politics in favor of patient quality of life?

How is the dry heat and cool shifts affecting your health?

What is access to doctors and specialists like?

My wife and I want to target a 55+ community for a calm life.

Is the state crazy or good with opiods for the chronically ill?

Overall perspectives that can help us make decision.

Like do you like living in NM. We are thinking Albuquerque, maybe there are other good cities and counties as well. This is more of research at this point and potential visit.

We are still planning and saving money so we have time. We want to visit, but I want inside info.

I’m not from this area and i have some super cool fireworks i wanna set off! I have never left my state and im currently staying at an airbnb and was just wanting to know if anyone had recommendations of some places close to high rolls

Hi, all. I recently found out an elderly family member is being financially exploited and abused by his caregiver. I need to make a report to APS, but I am nervous about my identity being found out because his caregiver is mentally unstable and volatile. My ultimate goal is to have the abused family member come live with me, but I can't achieve this without some sort of involvement of the authorities. I understand NM statute requires the reporter's identity to remain confidential except in certain circumstances, but does anyone have experience with this?

Hello! I am a rising senior from the midwest and have plans on attending New Mexico tech. I have never been to anywhere west or south aside from like Georgia and Florida and I’m very interested in how New Mexico as a state differs from the Midwest.
