Bill > SJR19

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the New Mexico Constitution, specifically Article 20, to legalize the possession and personal use of marijuana for individuals aged 21 and older. However, this legalization is contingent upon the state legislature enacting laws that regulate various aspects of marijuana, including its production, processing, transportation, sale, and taxation. Furthermore, any revenue generated from taxing marijuana must be directed to the state's general fund. This proposed constitutional change would then be put to a vote by the public at the next general election or a special election held before it.
