Let’s Talk Cannabis in New Mexico: Special Episode
This week, we want to share some of the great work from our colleagues over at KUNM Radio, where co-host Megan Kamerick also works as an on-air host. She helmed this week’s “Let’s Talk New Mexico” call-in show, which focused entirely on the push for cannabis legalization during the 2021 legislative session. Co-host Andy Lyman from the New Mexico Political Report joined her as a guest to give important context on the bills introduced so far, and the history of the state’s medical cannabis program. They were also joined by Representative Javier Martinez and Senator Cliff Pirtle, along with Shannon Jaramillo and Ben Lewinger from the Cannabis Chamber of Commerce. We wanted to share this with you, as many of the conversations we’ve had so far in this project are playing a role in the legislative drafted by lawmakers and the debates to come!
