America has literally, gone to pot. China is of Satan. So many Americans are blinded by the ways of Satan. Just 4% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview. For many years at KKIM Christian radio we told people that pot was NOT GOOD! Now here at FGGAM, for over 11 year, we continue to send the same message! The dumbing down of America continues: Emerging studies suggest that cannabis use leads to an increased risk of reporting psychotic symptoms. A 2022 study, for instance, found a significant correlation between the number of cannabis dispensaries and rates of psychosis presenting in emergency departments.

MUSKOGEE, OK – Since the doors began opening for legalized marijuana, a number of states have joined the movement. That includes Oklahoma, which has become one of the easier places to grow or sell marijuana.
Perhaps no state has been as radically transformed by the legalization of medical marijuana as Oklahoma. With the number of growers, sellers, and users skyrocketing across the state, it’s no surprise it’s being called the Wild West of Weed. More Here
New Mexico cannabis industry marks one year, more than $300 million in adult-use sales
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham today announced that the state saw $300 million in adult-use cannabis sales in its first year, which began in April 2022.
In one year, the state has issued around 2,000 cannabis licenses across New Mexico, including 633 cannabis retailers, 351 producers, 415 micro producers, and 507 manufacturers.
“In just one year, hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity has been generated in communities across the state, the number of businesses continues to increase, and thousands of New Mexicans are employed by this new industry,” said Gov. Lujan Grisham. “I’m excited to see what the future holds as we continue to develop an innovative and safe adult-use cannabis industry.”
Monthly sales have remained consistent throughout the last year, with March 2023 marking the highest adult-use sales at $32.3 million. As of March 2023, more than $27 million in cannabis excise taxes has gone to the state general fund and to local communities. To date, the state has recorded more than 10 million transactions. More data on sales and licenses can be found here.
Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and Santa Fe saw the largest number of sales in the first year. Smaller communities, including Clovis, Farmington, and Ruidoso, each saw more than $7 million in adult-use sales. Towns near the Texas border were also positively impacted by the cannabis industry. Sunland Park recorded $19.4 million in adult-use sales.
“From the governor’s signing of the legislation, to standing up the Cannabis Control Division and rolling out this new industry, the New Mexico cannabis industry has shown great promise,” said Regulation and Licensing Department Superintendent Linda Trujillo. “We’re looking forward to even more growth in year two.”
