Recreational cannabis sales became legal in New Mexico on Friday, April 1, 2022.
SWOP representative Jennifer Hise said it's exciting because of the economic impact cannabis will have on the state, which she hopes that money will be allocated to things such as funding local schools and local police departments.
The New Mexico Cannabis Control Division projects the industry will generate $300 million in sales in the first year, create more than 11,000 jobs and bring in $50 million in state revenue.
