I’m sure there is better cannabis on the west coast, however I’m perfectly cheerful with the weed I purchase from dispensaries in Albuquerque.
Now that New Mexico has legalized recreational weed, I don’t even have to pay fees yearly to be a medical marijuana patient just so I have the legal right to shop in a cannabis dispensary. Unluckyly, there is a 12% statewide tax on all recreational marijuana products sold at legal dispensaries. Despite this, I’m just cheerful that I’m not in Denver to the north where taxes on recreational marijuana have reached 26% this year with neighborhood and state taxes combined. The only other neighborhood with higher taxes on recreational cannabis is Los Angeles! Needless to say, I’m quite cheerful with the 12% tax in New Mexico when I believe about the alternatives. On top of that, you cannot be taxed on marijuana purchases as a medical marijuana patient in New Mexico. There was a recent court ruling on the subject, so I’m cheerful being a resident of Albuquerque with a medical marijuana card in our pocket as well. Occasionally I visit a dispensary in North Valley or Loma Del Rey to grab a fresh jar of cannabis flower buds before going hiking for the day. There are ample trails in Cibola National Forest and up the Sandia Mountains. However, don’t make the mistake that I did of getting too high on cannabis before riding the Sandia Peak Tramway to the top of Sandia Peak. My vertigo was so intense that I nearly passed out on the way to the top. My bestie had to shake me to snap me out of the delirium.
