I’m sure there is better cannabis on the west coast, however I’m perfectly ecstatic with the weed I purchase from dispensaries in Albuquerque.
Now that NM has legalized recreational weed, I don’t even have to spend money 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 ecstatic that I’m not in Denver to the north where taxes on recreational marijuana have reached 26% this year with town and state taxes combined. The only other town with higher taxes on recreational cannabis is Los Angeles! Needless to say, I’m quite ecstatic with the 12% tax in NM when I suppose about the alternatives. On top of that, you cannot be taxed on marijuana purchases as a medical marijuana patient in NM. There was a recent court ruling on the subject, so I’m ecstatic being a resident of Albuquerque with a medical marijuana card in my pocket as well. Sometimes 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 myself and others to snap myself and others out of the delirium.
