    Can’t wait to move to Albuquerque, NM! Folks I met have been friendly and down-to-earth.
    I work in the tech industry, high-volume manufacturing – and marijuana has helped with my sleeping issues ever since I began working graveyard hours (7pm-7:30am)
    Learning that NM has legalized recreational marijuana use is a great thing 👍

    I didn’t hear anything about gifting. Does that fall under distribution?

    Honestly the only thing I don’t like is they used the green cross to symbolise It’s a weed shop
    In Europe the green cross means pharmacy so once I’ve accidentally walked into a weed store thinking it was a pharmacy
    Lol

    All adults 18+ should be free to responsibly smoke, gamble, drink, conceal & carry. Law enforcement needs to focus on REAL crimes, such as vandals, rapists, murders, frauditors, SovCits driving without liscense, DUI/DWI and of course robbery. 18 is the age of majority in 47 states & DC, 19 in Nebraska & Alabama and only 1 state has an age of majority/adulthood at 21, Mississippi. Cops need to leave adults under 21 alone! If cops want to keep their lives, salaries and benefits, let the state make money via legalized and taxed marijuana. Leave the consumers alone unless their committing a real crime. The best practices for law enforcement is to leave ALL users alone, especially adults 18+, let the state make money. Now that marijuana is becoming more and more legal, American citizens especially 2nd Amendment do gooders wont tolerate violations of their Civil Liberties to use, grow, possess marijuana. Those of us who support law enforcement, will cease supporting law enforcement when LEOs engage in the enforcement of unconstitutional laws & victimless "crimes".

    So if your growing 6 plants but are only allowed 2 ounces in your home? 6 plants will produce more then 2 ounces.

    "Probable Cause" A legal standard lowered so far that the common man can’t help but trip over it.

    The Lame Podcast .Go Focus on something else waste of taxpayer dollars.



  12. Willie Dynamite on October 19, 2023 at 1:25 pm

    What if your home lies in a drug free school zone? NM HB2 "removes cannabis from drug scheduling under state law"



  13. Immortan Bob on October 19, 2023 at 1:27 pm

    "Nobody’s really running around with 8oz for personal use"… Southerners don’t know what it’s like to stock up for the winter I guess *shrug*.



  14. Jayrokk on October 19, 2023 at 1:27 pm

    "No one’s running around with 8 ozs for personal use" wanna bet 🤣



  15. Bigpimpinmanny gonz on October 19, 2023 at 1:28 pm

    Can police officers in NM consume marijuana??



  16. Rebecca Huskey on October 19, 2023 at 1:31 pm

    If i’m understanding this correctly, basically as long as you aren’t driving under the influence, you don’t have more than 2 oz, and you follow traffic laws, you will just be fine?



  17. Egzoset on October 19, 2023 at 1:33 pm

    Ah, and the 3 amigos make the news on another channel. Sure…

    All he said was keep firearms out of view unless you have product that would be over 2.5oz which would be impossible to ascertain under road conditions. Cannot be based off smell. The warrant won’t hold up. Stay strapped, keep slinging.
