A bill put forward by a freshman state legislator would repeal New Mexico's medical marijuana program. A spokesman for Gov. Susana Martinez said she would sign the bill if it came across her desk, according to the Associated Press.
The bill, put forward by Rep. Jim Smith, R-Sandia Park, would end New Mexico's medicinal marijuana program by repealing the entire medical marijuana program law. The text of HB 593 is available on the state legislature's website.
The medical marijuana program "sends a bad message to kids, that somehow marijuana is good for you," Smith told the Associated Press.
The bill has not yet been heard by its first committee, the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee.
