Tuesday 16 Feb 2016

Several states in 2016 are offering voters an opportunity to legalize marijuana, some for medical use, and some for recreational use. As of Sunday night, New Mexico was removed from that list of states when state Senators voted against the proposal.

All 18 Republicans and six Democrats opposed the measure in a 24-17 Senate vote. The proposal would have let voters decide whether to legalize marijuana for adults age 25 and over. The proposal would have also legalized hemp, well-known for its numerous commercial and industrial uses.

Although odds of the bill passing in New Mexico were considered long, the fact that 17 Senators voted for the bill is encouraging. Advocates of the proposed constitutional amendment plan to try for a new bill at the next opportunity.
