New Mexico gets medical marijuana, expanded concealed carry

[error]

Perhaps one of the most contentious bills approved this year will allow New Mexicans with certain ailments to be prescribed marijuana as a treatment.

Patients who are approved will be allowed to carry up to 6 ounces of marijuana — considered a three-month supply — without penalty by the state.

House Bill 588 allows residents with concealed-carry licenses for handguns to take them into convenience stores or grocery stores that sell packaged liquor. Previously, license holders weren't allowed to enter establishments that sold liquor, whether packaged or not. Businesses that sell beverages for consumption at the premises, however, will still be off-limits.
