Former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick dropped a four-word reaction to the New Mexico governor signing 60 new bills this week. Major areas of concern that were addressed were that of primary elections and the use of psilocybin.
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham made a major announcement by signing 60 new bills into law this Tuesday. Among the most significant changes were reforms to the state’s primary election process and the establishment of a state-run psilocybin program, aimed at assisting medical patients.
The legislative package includes bills addressing a wide array of priorities: healthcare access, public safety, education, and environmental protection. One of the most talked-about measures is the effort to expand voting rights, specifically by allowing New Mexico’s 310,000 independent voters easier access to participate in primary elections.

Another headline-making bill was the approval of a state-run psilocybin program. New Mexico now joins Oregon and Colorado in authorizing the medical use of the psychedelic substance, with a growing body of research highlighting the potential of psilocybin to treat conditions like PTSD and depression.
Reacting to the news, Danica Patrick took to her Instagram stories to express herself and wrote:
"Let the healing begin!"
Among the 60 bills signed by the governor, Senate Bill 19 mandates training for university regents. House Bill 10 grants policing powers to regulate the cannabis industry and Senate Bill 21 expands state control over surface water previously under federal oversight.
