This, essentially, family-operated venture flaunts products under various brand names, from unique flower strains to concentrated assortments.

They've also extended their brand reach through collaborations with brands like XVape and have even, surprisingly, ventured into the comic book realm with Z2 Comics.

The state's cannabis market is "lit," no pun intended, reporting a staggering $300 million in sales in just its inaugural year.

The credit goes to Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, who, recognizing the potential, legalized cannabis in 2021.
