New Mexico Joins the Flurry of 2021 Adult-Use Legalization
Adult-use legislation that had previously stalled in New Mexico, was approved on March 31 — within hours of the New York legislation passing — in a special session called by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham.
After much anticipation, the governor signed the bill into law on April 12, making New Mexico the 17th state to legalize adult-use cannabis.
No later than September 1, 2021, the New Mexico Cannabis Regulatory Advisory Committee is scheduled to accept and begin processing license applications for cannabis producers, cannabis producer microbusinesses, and medical licensees.
Retail sale of commercial cannabis is slated to begin no later than April 1, 2022.
