ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- It took years of political maneuvering and a special legislative session to get it done but New Mexico is officially on its way to a legal marijuana market.
While recreational sales likely won t start until 2022, state regulators are already laying the groundwork. However, one major question looming is how will New Mexico s legalization impact business in Southern Colorado where legal cannabis has been around for years.
Just a few miles north of the New Mexico-Colorado border, sits Durango Organics with customers filing in and out the cannabis storefront.
Jonny Radding is one of the co-founders of the business which has been open since 2010. He says despite the pandemic, business is booming.
