New Mexico became the 17th state to legalize recreational marijuana on Monday.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed legislation that will allow adults over 21 to use and grow marijuana for recreational purposes by June with some restrictions. Beginning in 2022, the state will form a legal, regulated market to begin sales, aiming to shore up its state economy through an excise tax on cannabis products.
