NM Marijuana Bill Moves to Governor’s Desk

A bill to legalize recreational marijuana use in New Mexico is heading to the governor’s desk. The measure cleared its final hurdle in the legislature Wednesday. The bill allows for adults over 21-years-old to buy marijuana and clears records of people previously convicted of possession. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is expected to sign the bill, making New Mexico the 16th state to legalize cannabis use.
