About Cannabis in New Mexico

In recent New Mexico cannabis news, HB 314 passed both
chambers and has been signed by the Governor. House Bill 314 amends the
state’s existing marijuana expungement law by permitting residents with
past cannabis convictions “to verify whether automatic expungement has
occurred and request expedited automatic expungement if eligible charges
have not yet been expunged.”

New Mexico’s medical cannabis program
dates back to 2007, offering residents of the Land of Enchantment very
needed relief from specific medical conditions. The state is diligent in
keeping data on residents enrolled in the program, reporting monthly
the changes in condition counts and active patients.

As of July 2020, the New Mexico
Department of Health reported that there are currently 92,295 active
patients and 8,005 personal production license (PPL) card holders. Based
on the most current data, PTSD, severe chronic pain, and cancer are the
top three conditions, collectively equaling more than 85,000 of the
registered patients.

Having been signed by Gov. Michelle
Lujan Grisham, the Cannabis Regulation Act (CRA) is effective as of June
21, 2021. This is an exciting step as it focuses on recreational
cannabis legalization for adults 18 and up. In addition, the CRA has
created a comprehensive licensing, taxing, and enforcement regulatory
structure for cannabis that will be administered by the Cannabis Control
Division (CCD).

The CCD will help with licensing and
regulations for both recreational cannabis consumption and the Medical
Cannabis Program that was initially created by the Lynn and Eric
Compassionate Use Act (LECUA). However, the Medical Cannabis Program
patient registry will still be maintained by the New Mexico Department
of Health.
