There was big news this week on the cannabis front in New Mexico. As our co-host, Andy Lyman first reported, the state has now issued its first cultivation license. This is no doubt a big step for the recreational market in New Mexico, but it still leaves countless other applications in limbo with time running out to get plants in the ground in time for the first day of legal sales on April 1, 2022.
A big part of the push to create a legal cannabis industry in New Mexico was the idea of automatic expungements for those with past cannabis-related convictions or arrests. The idea is simple, to try and undo some of the wrongs inflicted on especially people of color during the longstanding war on drugs. But, what does "automatic" really mean? And how is the process going so far?
