“It’s something of an intimidating process,” Weisler said.
Consequently, some parts of the state don’t have any officers trained as drug recognition experts, legislators were told Tuesday.
The numbers surfaced as members of the Courts, Corrections and Justice Committee dedicated much of their afternoon to New Mexico’s preparation to carry out a new law legalizing cannabis for adults.
Retail sales are set to begin by April next year. Growing cannabis at home for recreational use became legal last month.
The work of drug recognition experts is expected to take on extra importance because there’s no standard breath test or assumed impairment level for cannabis, in contrast to alcohol. Officers certified as experts can help distinguish whether a person is truly impaired by cannabis.

New Mexico health officials on Wednesday reported more progress in getting residents vaccinated as the state continues to lead the U.S. in the vaccine rollout.
State Health Secretary Dr. Tracie Collins said 50% of residents 16 and older have received their first shot and 31% are fully vaccinated. The latest figures come as other states look to expand distribution beyond health care workers and other priority groups to meet an April 19 deadline from the Biden administration.
While New Mexico opened up eligibility Monday, Collins said priority will still be given to those who are 75 and older and other senior citizens who have chronic conditions that put them at greater risk.
