It went well in NM on Day One. Local news got their footage of long lines, first legal buyers, and politicians. The cops were very well behaved, seemingly speaking common sense and apparently down with the scene.
The drug dealers did $1 million of business on the first day, $120 thousand of that went to the cartel, the state of NM, that has a monopoly on the market.
So now one can buy cannabis everywhere in the West except Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. Which seems fine by me…
