New Mexico law allows cannabis cases to be expunged. Thousands are still waiting.

It is now legal for anyone over 21 to possess up to 2 ounces of cannabis, 16 grams of cannabis extract and 800 milligrams of edible cannabis, and to use it in their own home or share it without compensation. The new law means many thousands of New Mexicans who were charged with marijuana possession will be able to have those cases expunged from court and law enforcement records.
But the process has proved to be cumbersome, time-consuming and complicated.
