Plant count increases ahead of New Mexico marijuana sales
Increasing the plant count makes sense “to ensure that everyone can maximize the benefits of a thriving cannabis industry,” said state Cannabis Control Division Director Kristen Thomson.
“Equity and fairness are foundational principles of New Mexico’s vision for the state’s cannabis industry,” Thomson said.
It set a deadline of April 1 for recreational sales to begin.
The state has estimated that annual recreational sales could reach $300 million in the first year.
Unlike other states, New Mexico has no limit on the number of producer licenses that can be issued.
