NM Senate is taking up the #cannabis legalization bill that just passed the House. Watch here: sg001-harmony.sliq.net/00293/Harmony/…
Sen. Candelaria just called out the legislative process for being racist against Ultra Health — the largest medical grower in NM, which has advocated for no caps on plant count.

One LGBTQ advocate urged the NM legislature to "not let perfect be the enemy of good" — and to pass the bill.
It's honestly fascinating watching the New Mexico GOP use the "its just like hemp" argument to push their bill (which regulates weed as an ag product) over the Democrat bill — when that is an argument that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has run the other direction from.
Also if New Mexico does decide to regulate cannabis through THREE state agencies, it will be interesting to figure out if they can do it better than California — because it was a nightmare in California and they eventually made one central agency.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: New Mexico is not the only state putting $$ into developing and improving roadside impairment tests — either swab tests or physical tests. Sen
@CliffPirtle has made that claim multiple times in the last few weeks.

Pirtle brings up an interesting point — fighting for lower licensing fees, which have really crippled small operators in other states, most obviously in California.
