Cannabis
I believe that high quality cannabis is complementary to running and fitness recovery because it reduces inflammation and improves sleep both of which are critical for athletes. New Mexico is a proud agricultural producer of high quality legal cannabis. As a fully regulated industry, the New Mexico Department of Agriculture and New Mexico Regulation & Licensing Department oversee the production and distribution of cannabis that is legal for personal consumption in New Mexico. The benefit of fully regulated New Mexico cannabis is that you are ensured to get a best in class product that is certified to be safe for consumption. I am fully aware that cannabis is a personal choice but thought it is important to have this section on our website for visitors that would like to experience legal New Mexico cannabis but don’t know where to start. In addition to being a source for dispensary information I’m sharing this article from Outside Magazine that we think is worth a read. I would like to remind everyone who partakes in cannabis to follow all of the rules and regulations set forth by the State of New Mexico. More dispensaries will be added soon but this is definitely a great starting point.
What To Expect
All New Mexico cannabis dispensaries must be compliant with the law and their required licenses will be will prominently displayed. You will be asked to provide legal identification proving you are 21 years of age or older and your id will be scanned electronically for authentication. Payment can be made with cash or debit card (some accept credit cards). The dispensaries listed here all carry a good selection of high quality edibles, flowers, and accessories. Your cannabis expert will be able to answer all of your specific questions about dosage, varieties, potency, etc. Last but not least, you will receive excellent boutique style customer service.
