New Mexico is bringing sales of recreational marijuana to the doorstep of Texas as the movement toward broad legalization sweeps across more of the American West.
Marijuana dispensary manager LeRoy Roybal, right, and bud tender Benjamin Oliver prepare on Tuesday, March 29, 2022, for the opening of New Mexico's regulated market for recreational cannabis at a Minerva Canna store in Santa Fe, N.M. At midnight on Friday, April 1, 2022, it becomes legal for anyone 21 and older to purchase and possess up to 2 ounces of marijuana for personal use -- enough to roll about 60 joints or cigarettes.
In Clovis, New Mexico, a high plains town of about 40,000 residents less than 10 miles from Texas, Earl Henson and two business partners have pooled resources to convert a former gun shop and shooting range into a cannabis store and companion growing room at a Main Street address. Supportive lawmakers hope that broad legalizing of marijuana will stamp out black markets, boost employment and provide stable new sources of government income.
New business licenses for cannabis cafes or lounges haven’t been requested yet — leaving people to indulge in their homes or designated hotels, casinos and cigar shops. Legal experts warn that people who purchase cannabis in New Mexico and chose to return home to other states could risk criminal penalties, arrest and incarceration — most notably in Texas.
