You're likely referring to NMSA 1978, Section 30-31-23. This New Mexico statute makes the intentional possession of non-legal drugs a criminal act. Some examples include but are not limited to, the intentional possession of marijuana, cocaine, prescription drugs not prescribed to the specific person by a medical doctor, etc.
