Lines were developing outside of New Mexico's recreational dispensaries last night in anticipation of their April 1 openings
Colorado could see fewer Texan tourists going forward, and the marijuana industry will likely pay the price.
Medical marijuana has been legal in New Mexico since 2007, and approximately 118 dispensaries have been operating under that framework across the state. Under, all 118 of those stores are licensed to sell recreational marijuana starting April 1. In contrast, back when Colorado's recreational sales launched on January 1, 2014, only about forty stores were licensed and ready for business.
Yet neither of Colorado's two biggest cities come anywhere close to having the highest number of dispensaries per capita. That distinction belongs to Trinidad, a town with fewer than 9,000 people and 26 dispensaries. Trinidad is located off Interstate 25 just miles north of the New Mexico border, and dispensary owners and town officials are open about the number of tourists from neighboring states who frequent their stores — not just from New Mexico but Texas, as well.
