A majority of the Las Cruces City Council who has publicly supported the creation of cannabis legislation to help boost the City’s economy is lauding the adoption of House Bill 2, the Cannabis Regulation Act, by the New Mexico Legislature.
“The legalization of adult-use cannabis has been a long-time coming, and the majority of the City Council welcomes it as an opportunity to create jobs in our community and roll back the disproportional, harmful impacts of the criminalization of cannabis,” said Gabe Vasquez, who represents City Council District 3. “The emergence of this new industry will allow Las Cruces and Doña Ana County to excel in the production of cannabis, creating good-paying jobs in agriculture, manufacturing, retail, and the hospitality industry. We thank the New Mexico Legislature and the Governor for taking a monumental step toward diversifying our city and our state’s economy.
