Nestled in the southwestern corner of the United States, New Mexico has embraced a progressive stance on cannabis, marking its territory as a trailblazer in the evolving landscape of marijuana legalization.

The state’s rich cultural tapestry, rooted in Native American and Hispanic heritage, intertwines with the budding cannabis industry, creating a uniquely enchanting atmosphere. In April 2021, New Mexico lawmakers passed a historic bill legalizing recreational cannabis, making it the 17th state to do so. 

Beyond the arid landscapes and adobe architecture, the green wave of cannabis legalization has taken root in the Land of Enchantment, promising economic growth and social change. With the legalization of adult-use cannabis, New Mexico is not only opening the doors to a flourishing industry but also addressing social justice concerns.

The legislation includes provisions aimed at expunging certain cannabis-related convictions, fostering a commitment to rectify the historical imbalances created by decades of prohibition.

Verdes Cannabis proudly stands as a cornerstone of the New Mexico cannabis community, boasting over a decade of dedicated service and establishing itself as one of the longest-operating dispensaries in the state. Founded in 2010 by Eric Speegle and his father, Doug Speegle, Verdes Cannabis quickly evolved into one of New Mexico’s largest and most respected dispensaries, with a comprehensive growth operation to support its endeavors. 

Focused on inspiring wellness through cannabis, Verdes Cannabis serves as a community connector, helping individuals optimize their lives through the right cannabis products tailored to their needs. The dispensary operates with a family-owned and operated ethos, employing over 100 New Mexicans. This commitment to excellence and education positions Verdes Cannabis as a trusted source for high-quality cannabis products in the New Mexico community.
