Medical marijuana certification question. [View all]

I had a doctor visit six days ago for chronic pain, which is a qualifying condition in New Mexico. My doctor mentioned medical marijuana as a possible treatment for the pain. I told him I wanted to try it. He said he would write up a certification and mail it to me. I haven't received the certification yet.

Is it too soon to bug him about it? I don't know what process he has to go through to write up a certification for medical marijuana. Perhaps the certification has to be reviewed by someone at his place of business?
