New Mexico District Court Judge Benjamin Chavez issued a writ directing state officials to allow registered medical marijuana patients to buy up to 2 ounces of marijuana per day. That total is the legal purchase limit set by New Mexico's new adult-use marijuana law signed by the governor in April and a significant increase over the previous limit of 8 ounces every 90 days. The state health department and the Regulation and Licensing Department now must reply in court to the judge's order or comply with the writ. Recreational marijuana sales are not expected to begin until next year. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul pledged to move forward with the state's multibillion-dollar adultuse marijuana program as quickly as possible. Hochul called a special session of the Legislature partly to get her cannabis agency nominations confirmed so that the industry launch could get underway. The state Senate moved quickly to confirm the appointments: * Tremaine Wright, a former Brooklyn state assemblywoman, to chair the Cannabis Control Board and the Office of Cannabis Management. * Chris Alexander, the policy manager at Canada-based Vill, to serve as executive director of both agencies.
