Things will start happening once another governor is elected. Just 2 more years....cough.

When the time comes to start writing the legislation I hope New Mexico follows in Colorados footsteps & passes an Amendment to the States Constitution.

Any other form of legislation would prove arbitrary since the States lawmaker would have the ability to change it a section at a time, over time.

INDIVIDUAL HOME GROWING should be fundamental in this and all future legislation.

Keep in mind too that the Constitution is the place for individual protections while regulations & statutes are the place for restricting businesses.

They just had a special legislative session where they introduced several cannabis bills. Rec being one, industrial hemp research and no limit medical production being the other. HB 11 looks pretty interesting. They allow for patients to sell to growers/distributors which I think is a key to preserving the little man. That's the thing with NM, this is only being done because the special interests are already there and the politicians are able to get their cut. The governors husband is one of the largest Med producers in the state. Just goes to show what they're about there. I'm hopeful, but I know how that state runs all to well. My hats already in the ring so I guess I can't talk too much crap lol.

at least the corruption here is pretty much what we expect and therefore almost quaint,like its in the family so to speak...both literally and figuratively in this case...

patient sales would be great though,i have only smoked a couple of samples that were even what i would consider even worth trying,everything else ive seen here has been absolute garbage...

[who dat is]

I wish you luck in all your endeavors with this one. Even though I'm in CO, New Mexico has a special place in my heart. I've said that if shit ever hits the fan I'll just buy some cheap ass desert land and just become a weird desert person.

I've contemplated moving back to Las Cruces many times...and it's still on the list of last destinations...

I lived in Clovis for a few years. What a crap hole. Literally, a crap hole. There are so many cattle yards there. You could see the methane gas floating above the stock yards. The smell was the worst. They would haul cow shit out in 18 wheelers. Hated getting behind one of those trucks. I had some good times in NM. I'd move back there if they had laws that were conducive to smoking and growing weed. I might even start riding motorcycles again if I lived there.

Chuck Franco? I think you have been dazed and confused. He being an under sheriff....doubtful. What proof of producing? Curious.

Although Darren White has switched tunes since leaving law enforcement and joining the dispensary business.

Didn't see him in the data base.


He's part of the Weed & Seed advocacy through DOJ.The office oversees the Weed and Seed program, which works to reduce drug abuse, violent crime and gang activity in high-risk neighborhoods. There are over 300 Weed and Seed locations across the country.
