SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed a bill strengthening cannabis regulations in the state. It comes nearly two years after recreational cannabis became legal in New Mexico.

The new law cracks down on unlicensed and out-of-state cannabis products and closes a loophole that allowed people to get licenses without federal background checks. It also adds rules to ensure product packing does not appeal to children.
