New Mexico legalizes cannabis
New Mexico's Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has signed both cannabis reform bills into law sent to his office last week. Both pieces of legislation legalize cannabis for adult use and automatically expunge cannabis-related criminal records for crimes that would no longer be illegal under the new law.
