Santa Fe City Council approves resolution urging cannabis legalization

With exception of one, Santa Fe city councilors present at tonight's governing body meeting approved a resolution urging the state Legislature to legalize cannabis for recreational use.

It means that the city's team of legislative liaisons will include the measure when they interface with their counterparts in the House and Senate early next year.

The resolution had been scheduled on the City Council's consent calendar and was eligible for a vote without discussion along with the rest of a slate of items, but Councilor Chris Rivera pulled it from the list so he could vote no.

River said he had a negative view of cannabis "from personal experience on the ambulance scene." He is a former paramedic and chief of the city's Fire Department.
