New Mexico recently decriminalized marijuana for adult use. The Cannabis Regulation Act will remove criminal penalties for adult use of cannabis and create a framework for licensed sellers and a 20 percent tax on cannabis sales. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has called a special session of the legislature after the regular session failed to pass the bill. Lawmakers are expected to sign the bill into law as early as July.The legalization legislation includes restorative justice measures and equity measures, such as automatic expungement of criminal records for low-level offenses. Advocates say the bill will promote diversity in the market place by including names of diverse communities and limiting the amount of marijuana sold to underage users. But there are some concerns that some businesses will take advantage of the opportunity for profits by selling to minors.The law allows individuals over 21 to possess up to two ounces of cannabis. They can also grow up to six plants for home use. The first sales are scheduled to begin in April 2022. The new law will require that the state tax marijuana at a rate of 12 percent, eventually rising to 18 percent. The state will also regulate the industry, and estimates that sales of marijuana will generate $20 million in tax revenue for the state and $10 million for local governments by 2023. Some companies have been lobbying for the legalization of recreational marijuana for several years. Despite the lack of support from the public, some lawmakers say it will boost the state's economy. However, they're not sure if it will have any effect on employment rates and wages. They'll also need to decide on a legalization date, but it's a long process. Legalizing marijuana is an important step forward for the state's economy. It will increase jobs, create jobs, and boost the state's economy. A recent poll also found that the legalization of marijuana is a major catalyst for the recovery of the economy in New Mexico. The cannabis industry will provide New Mexicans with a much-needed source of revenue, which will ultimately benefit the entire state. While the legislation is only effective for adults, it has been passed into law. The law is effective in the short and long-term. Unlike other states, it is not difficult to obtain a license. For adults, it's easier to grow up to six plants and enjoy the benefits of both medical marijuana and cannabis. The state will also have a thriving recreational industry. The legislation will be enforceable and will not allow local governments to opt out of the commercial sales. The law also prohibits law enforcement officials from stopping people for smelling marijuana. The new law is not applicable to those under the age of 21. It is still illegal for adults under 21 to possess cannabis for recreational use. The new law will result in a four-hour educational program and community service for those who are caught with marijuana on their person. There will be a hefty tax on the cannabis industry and cannabis biomedical, but it is only the beginning. The state House has already passed the bill, and the Senate has passed it 22-15. The new law allows home growers to grow up to six plants per person, and up to 12 plants per household. The bill also makes it illegal for police to search the homes of individuals who are cultivating their own marijuana using cannabis seeds. The law is a huge step toward legalization, but it will be a long time before it becomes a reality in most states.
Despite the many political challenges, the bill has passed the New Mexico House of Representatives. The Senate passed the bill 39-31. The bill was rejected by six Democrats and was not voted on by Republicans. The law will take effect on Jan. 1, 2019 and will be followed by a few years. There are no federal laws on marijuana use for adults. The legalization of marijuana for adults in New Hampshire has been a success. The law will make the state's law enforcement officers much safer and will encourage more efficient crime-fighting methods.
