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.
