What’s in the interview?
What is the New Mexico Cannabis Chamber of Commerce?
What was the inspiration behind it?
Part of the success of New Mexico’s transition to adult-use cannabis was due to micro licenses – can you explain how this is different than California, Illinois or any other states that have quotas and equity licensing?
This allows for greater diversity in the cannabis space – was there any kind of pushback from larger operations?
What does the future look like for these micro license holders?
Is this model sustainable?
Will we see more of these licenses or fewer going forward?
Let’s talk about another issue related to “sustainability”, meaning water –
What’s the water situation in New Mexico related to agricultural water use?
New Mexico is historically an agricultural state – how does the state plan to meet the increasing water demand?
You helped get recreational laws passed in New Mexico and are heavily involved in policy at the state level.
Can you take us through the steps you (and others) had to take to make this a reality?
What cannabis policy are you focused on in New Mexico now that recreational has passed?
What’s something most New Mexico residents might not know about their state’s relatively new cannabis industry?
What were some challenges/hurdles for producers when adult-use cannabis went legal?
Was there trouble meeting demand?
How do the consumer costs compare to other legal states?
Any crazy stories from that first month?
I understand El Paso, TX and Juarez Mexico have a connection to the NM cannabis space –
Can you explain that?
What are the challenges of such a relationship?
Are there any advantages either for cultivators or consumers?
What are some recommendations you’d give to New Mexico cannabis business owners and employees to help them be as successful as possible?
What advice do you have to anyone wanting to start a licensed growing operation in New Mexico? A licensed dispensary?
What will the New Mexico cannabis industry look like 2-5 years from now?
What can other states learn from the New Mexico model?
What’s next for you, Ben?
