It seems about every other week or more there is a car or truck smashing into a home or business in Albuquerque. A friend mentioned to me that it may be due to the legalization  of pot in New Mexico? I warned about POT HEADS years ago. Drunk drivers and Pot heads, very, very dangerous. I do not know what the cause of this most recent crash, but it raises several questions of past wrecks. We need answers governor! You and your team have put people at risk. We need honesty here.

Marijuana Causes More Car Crashes The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration surveyed around 9,000 drivers in a nearly two-year long study of alcohol and drug use by drivers. It found that marijuana users were around 25% more likely to be involved in a car crash than a sober driver. Aug 21, 2024

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – During the middle of the dinner rush, a northeast Albuquerque pizza joint was thrust into a scary situation.

It was business as usual on Friday night at Mario’s Pizza and Ristorante on Juan Tabo and Menaul, dough was being rolled out, marinara spread and pizzas cooked to perfection in anticipation of the Friday rush. That is until 5:30 p.m. rolled around. More Here

We have a governor here in New México who asks for trouble, legalizing pot as the state goes to hell, violent crime is out of control. Baby killer state, record abortions. Now she is using 10 million of our tax dollars to build her abortion clinic in Las Cruces. Where is the GOP on this issue of God’s babies?  New Mexico is now a destination point for abortions, ther abortion capitol of America! I guess that is part of her tourism plan! New Mexico is a failed state. The governor stated New Mexico would be better off legalized pot……where did the all the pot money go? Legalizing pot, a mind altering drug. Shame on the governor and those legislators who voted for this. This once again how weak the GOP is in this state. Just think folks, the voters of this state reelected the worst governor I have ever seen in 2022. What does that say about the state and the GOP???

Cannabis in New Mexico officially a billion-dollar industry – Sales top $1 billion, $75 million excise tax reported through January

Mar 5, 2024 | Press Release from NM Governor Lujan Grisham

SANTA FE – Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced today that cannabis sales in New Mexico have topped $1 billion in adult-use and medical sales. The sales record comes a month prior to the second anniversary of legal adult-use cannabis sales in New Mexico.

Cannabis consumers have purchased more than $678.4 million worth of adult-use cannabis products and $331.6 million in medical products since April 1, 2022. To date, the state has recorded more than 21 million transactions with $75 million in cannabis excise taxes going to the state general fund and local communities.

“This is a huge milestone for New Mexico’s cannabis industry,” said Gov. Lujan Grisham. Nearly two years after beginning sales, New Mexico is on the map as a premier hub for legal and safe cannabis and the thriving business community that comes with it.”

Albuquerque remains the top city in the state for cannabis sales with more than $202 million in adult-use products being sold since legalization. Sunland Park, one of the many communities that has been positively impacted by cannabis tourism, recorded $57.4 million in adult-use sales.

Smaller communities across New Mexico are also reaping the benefits of the flourishing cannabis industry. Municipalities like Las Vegas, Silver City, and Deming have each seen more than $5 million in adult-use sales since April 2022.

As of March 1, 2024, the state has issued 2,873 cannabis licenses across New Mexico, including 1,050 retailers, 878 manufacturers, and 459 micro producers.

With all that pot money why cannot the DEMS and GOP cut our income taxes and property taxes! We are floating this ugly boast and I am sick and tired of how you folks use our money! I never signed up to kill babies!
