Issue Position: Cannabis

Issue Position

Michelle supported and implemented New Mexico's medical cannabis program, and has worked at the state and federal level to support legal access to medical cannabis.

The current administration has failed to provide adequate supply for New Mexicans who depend on Medical Cannabis prescriptions and has blocked adding qualifying conditions such as opioid use disorder that are supported by the Medical Cannabis Advisory Board. As Governor she will work to eliminate plant caps and approve additional qualifying conditions such as opioid use disorder that the Martinez administration has refused to approve. Michelle will also support the legislature in legalizing recreational cannabis in a manner that protects medical cannabis patients' access, prioritizes public safety, and generates much-needed state revenues.
