A LOT OF NEW MEXICANS ARE TALKING ABOUT RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA … AND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS NEW MEXICO COULD BECOME THE FIRST STATE IN THE U-S TO ESTABLISH ITS ITS OWN GOVERNMENT-OPERATED POT STORES AND SUBSIDIZE MARIJUANA SALES FOR THE POOR. THAT’S INCLUDED IN A BILL FROM REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS.
NEW MEXICO WOULD OVERSEE THE SALES OF RECREATIONAL POT AND REQUIRE BUYERS TO CARRY A SALE OF PURCHASE SO THEY DON’T FACE PENALTIES. TAX DOLLARS FROM THE SALES WOULD PAY FOR JOBS AND COUNSELING PROGRAMS. TEN STATES, PLUS WASHINGTON DC, HAVE LEGALIZED RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA.
