An edible, pre game brews and an Isotope’s game sounds solid.

Honestly It’s hard for me to figure out whose exactly stopping or fighting against legalization at this point. Ciggerette companies have all diverted and out a heavy amount of their resource behind their own weed companies and honestly I don’t think that’s really a big correlation between those two industries

Seems like either side could make it a no brainer layup for either side of the isle to get done and get to claim victory for economically and tax wise. I guess they never want to get rid of the carrot at the end of the stick

ETA the advancement of Delta 8 and Delta 9 is also going to push the timeline up a bit because of how muddy the waters get legally. At some point these states will have to fold when they see so much money going out the door to their surrounding states you would think

Personally, I think it’s LEOs and the FOP here. Several of the No voters have mentioned that they feel legalization could “put a strain” on LEOs.

Reality is we were ground zero for the War on Drugs when it came to marijuana and the old boys club doesn’t want to give that up. Too much money in it.

What is LA (and other States like NM) doing about CC permits with that? I remember in Michigan that someone said it was like you could have the med card or the CCP but not both. I can't recall if he said that you couldn't buy guns once you got the card or not, but that sounds ridiculous.

Sounds ridiculous, but in fact true, at the federal level.

Marijuana use or possession, whether legal or illegal per state law, prohibits possession or use of a firearm or ammunition per federal law.

When the big corporations decide to get in the weed business, the state and federal legislatures will sing a new song. For now, weed people are like craft beer guys. Creating businesses and jobs left and right, but shite on by politicians in favor of big distributors who give the legislators lots of $$$.

I'm in Sierra Vista AZ now and the biggest surprise in NM and AZ has been the beer game. Both states are making quality beer.

New Mexico is one of those fly under the radar good states. It’s got a lot going for it that people do not talk about when discussing cool places to visit.

I’d love to go spend a weekend in red river or angel fire. Do some skiing. Get stoned.

The feds need to get off their arse and deschedule it. The fact that people can’t partake in legalized states because of stupid fricking laws needs to stop but no one at the national level has any fricking nuts.

They seldom do something because it makes sense for consumers or most people want it. They prefer to drag shite out until people take sides. Then they can milk whichever side they choose for a few years of donations. They prefer the dispute go on forever so the spirited contributions continue. Once it’s resolved, donations end.

Medical marijuana was legalized in California in 1996. Not recreational.

This is awkward for you.

I noticed over time that numerous cannabis dispensaries opened in Trinidad, CO which is just over the border with NM and on I 26. Way more weed stores than necessary for such a small town and certainly the only reason for so many would have been demand caused by people from NM (and Texas). Now that NM has recreational pot and retail stores open in Raton and Clayton, Trinidad bud tenders may see a decrease in demand. I love capitalism.

Michigan is wide open now. You can just walk into the dispensary and buy what you want.
