A BILL SIGNED BY GOVERNOR LUJAN GRISHAM WEDNESDAY DECRIMINALIZES POSSESSION OF SMALL AMOUNTS OF MARIJUANA. EMILY KALTENBACH, DIRECTOR OF THE NEW MEXICO CHAPTER OF THE DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE, SAYS THIS COULD LEAD TO TOTAL LEGALIZATION.
KALTENBACH SAYS THE GOVERNOR INTENDS TO PUT THE MATTER ON THE CALL FOR THE NEXT SESSION…BUT THERE WILL STILL BE OBSTACLES SINCE THE LEGISLATURE, WHICH REFUSED TO LEGALIZE RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA THIS YEAR, WILL HAVE THE SAME MAKE-UP IN 2020.
