Draconian cannabis laws may be some of the worst crimes perpetrated on the people of Texas by their state government, but they’re a total boon for New Mexico marijuana tourism.
According to KTEP in El Paso, Texas, cannabis stores along the southern border of New Mexico have been raking in the cash from out-of-state cannabis tourists.
Reporters spoke to people waiting in line at a Sunland Park dispensary last week and learned that nearly all of them were Texans.
“I am against cannabis—I’ve seen what it does to people—but I believe this ordinance sets the county up for lawsuits.” Spear went on to ask if the commission wanted to repeal the county law entirely and leave it up to the state.
“New Mexicans supported cannabis businesses in record numbers this week,” CCD Director Kristen Thomson said in a press release.
