Summary:

In this episode, we dive into the controversial topic of license closures in the New Mexico cannabis industry. We discuss the push by some, including the NM Cannabis Chamber of Commerce, to allow the Regulation and Licensing Department (RLD) to pause licenses, and the potential consequences of such a move. We argue that a saturated market will naturally level itself out and that closing licenses will only benefit a select few, particularly large corporations, while harming local entrepreneurs and consumers. Instead of pausing licenses, we advocate for better enforcement, increased funding for the Cannabis Control Division (CCD), and shutting down illegal operations. We urge viewers to contact their representatives and express their support for a fair and free cannabis market in New Mexico. Remember, real change happens when you speak up!
