2019 may very well be the year the cannabis is legalized for recreational use in New Mexico. But, it won't be possible without your help.

Recently, Representative Javier Martinez introduced the NM Cannabis Regulation Act. Bills like this have been introduced before but this one stands much better chances of passing. This is particularly because of our new governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and Lt. Governor Howie Morales as well as a fairly progressive legislature. The bill will almost certainly pass in the NM House where there is a HUGE Democrat majority.

The bill will, however, likely have trouble in the Senate where Democrats hold only a small majority. Additionally, many conservative Democrats are likely to vote AGAINST the bill.

We have the chance to pass an innovative legalization bill that stays true to New Mexican values and what we care most about: the wellbeing of our children, healthy and safe communities, and a stronger economic future.
