Cannabis Regulatory Advisory Committee

Meet the Cannabis Regulatory Advisory Committee

(C-RAC)

The Cannabis Regulatory Advisory Committee (C-RAC) is an advisory group established under the Cannabis Regulation Act. C-RAC members are experts in various professions and topics pertaining to cannabis. The members advise and make recommendations to the Division on the development of rules, including best practices and the promotion of economic and cultural diversity in licensing and employment opportunities, and protection of public health and safety while ensuring a regulated environment for commercial cannabis activity that does not impose unreasonable barriers that would perpetuate, rather than reduce and eliminate, illicit cannabis.

The C-RAC meets regularly throughout the year or at the request of the Superintendent. The committee is subject to the Open Meetings Act and will post any meeting notices, agendas, and minutes to the CCD website.

For more information on the Cannabis Regulatory Commission please see, N.M. Stat. § 26-2C-3, NMAC 1978.
