Texans accounted for major share of New Mexico's $300 million in legal cannabis sales

A new Associated Press report on the $300 million in sales New Mexico has reaped since it legalized recreational cannabis a year ago leaves little doubt Texans contributed heavily to that sum. The report, which uses numbers from New Mexico's state cannabis control division, notes that the state's decision to legalize on April 1 of last year "brought sales to the doorstep of Texas, the largest prohibition state." Further, cannabis retailers and dispensaries near the Lone Star State racked up an "outsized portion" of New Mexico's first year of weed sales.
