Ferlic sues Taxation and Revenue Department on behalf of Ultra Heath

Ultra Health, New Mexico’s largest producer of medical marijuana, is suing the Taxation and Revenue Department for 1.54 million in collected gross receipts tax plus attorneys fees. In the lawsuit, Ultra Health is seeking medical cannabis to be treated as medicine which is exempt from gross receipt tax.

“Affordability is an issue for all New Mexicans, and even a more significant burden to the severe qualifying conditions suffered by medical cannabis patients,” Ultra Health president Duke Rodriguez said in a statement provided by his lawyer, Kate Ferlic.
