Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson made national headlines back in the 90s by publicly advocating for the legalization of adult use cannabis. His comments were made years before the state even set up a medical cannabis program. And still today, it is one of the top things that Johnson is known for, both here in New Mexico and nationally. In a special episode of Growing Forward, co-hosts Andy Lyman and Megan Kamerick catch up with Governor Johnson to get his reaction to the New Mexico legislature’s historic vote last week, sending an adult use legalization bill to the Governor’s desk, along with a companion bill creating a process for the expungement of cannabis-related offenses. You can read more of Andy Lyman’s reporting on Gov. Johnson and last week’s Special Legislative Session over at New Mexico Political Report.
