According to this story in the Albuquerque Journal, New Mexico State Representative Bill McCamley was discouraged but not dissuaded by the New Mexico’s House Agriculture, Water and Wildlife Committee vote to table a bill legalizing the recreational use of marijuana.
Rep. Bill McCamley, D-Mesilla Park, the measure’s sponsor, said he was frustrated by anecdotes about marijuana use during Friday’s hearing – two Republican lawmakers spoke of seeing violent marijuana-driven behavior in Vietnam – but said he plans to try again next year.
“I am fully confident it’s going to happen in the next 5 to 10 years,” McCamley told the Journal after Friday’s vote.
So there’s that to look forward to.
