🎙️ We’re joined this week by Will & Erin from First Crop—a team that’s changing how we think about cannabis by focusing on more than just high THC. With a new Best in Grass award under their belt, they’re gaining momentum. We also get into the evolving landscape of New Mexico’s cannabis industry—falling prices, shop closures, and a clear split between two groups of consumers. One’s catching on to the high THC hype… the other, not so much.
This week, we had a great chat with Johanna Bencomo, the Mayor Pro Tempore of Las Cruces. She shared her thoughts on the city’s unique approach to the cannabis industry, like having 24-hour sales and drive-thrus. We also talked about how border checks affect the local cannabis market and how things are changing with hemp products, especially after Texas banned “intoxicating hemp.”
On this week's episode, we're hanging out with Al Adebo from Munchiez, talking about the wild journey of building a cannabis business in New Mexico. We'll hear how he went from launching in Ruidoso to expanding to multiple locations, and what makes the "Munchiez" brand tick. Plus, we're diving into the booming world of cannabis beverages and why they're becoming a big deal.
