2024 Cannabis banking in New Mexico: Current rules and regulations
Cannabis in New Mexico transitioned to legal status for recreational use on June 29, 2021, following the signing of the Cannabis Regulation Act by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham on April 12, 2021. This legislative change paved the way for the commencement of licensed recreational cannabis sales on April 1, 2022, marking a significant shift in the state’s approach to cannabis. Previously, medical use was legalized in 2007, and New Mexico was the first state to enact a medical cannabis law through the Controlled Substances Therapeutic Research Act in 1978, despite the program’s limitations due to federal approval requirements.
Efforts to legalize recreational use saw a major breakthrough in 2019 with the House of Representatives passing a bill for the first time, though it stalled in the Senate. Subsequent decriminalization measures in 2019 reduced penalties for possession and introduced reforms for the medical cannabis program, setting the stage for full legalization. The Cannabis Legalization Working Group formed by Governor Lujan Grisham in June 2019 played a crucial role in shaping the framework for legalization, culminating in the enactment of the Cannabis Regulation Act in 2021.
Local municipalities have also taken steps towards reform, with Santa Fe and Albuquerque decriminalizing possession of small amounts and advocating for state-level legalization. The first day of legal recreational sales was celebrated by Governor Lujan Grisham in Albuquerque, highlighting the state’s transition towards a regulated cannabis market aimed at ensuring public safety and generating economic benefits. This shift not only reflects New Mexico’s evolving stance on cannabis but also its commitment to addressing past convictions and promoting a more equitable approach to cannabis consumption and commerce.
