Five Dispensaries in New Mexico You Want to Visit At Least Once

If you're not over 21 (yet), please wait until your birthday to come back and enjoy this post. If you're in Texas, marijuana is illegal. It is illegal medicinally and for recreational use.

However, it IS legal in New Mexico and Arizona. Stick around until the end of the article to see which dispensary to hit up if you're visiting Tucson, AZ. Here are the one's that are cool to hit up whether you are a first-time appreciator, or a full-time professional. The dispensaries you want to make sure to visit at least once during your visit to New Mexico.

But watch out for #1... the rewards program will make you coming back for more!

5. EVEREST CANNABIS - LAS CRUCES

Shout out to Joanna Barba for my inspiration for #5. Another example of how none of us would survive without her. Back in April, Everest Cannabis was at the top of the list in Las Cruces as far as Yelp goes. Still steady at 4.5 stars, it has 2 locations in Las Cruces, and has an easy delivery service if you're staying in during your vacation - plus if you spend $60, take $6 off of the delivery fee. Chances are you're in the area of either location.

Las Cruces East Dispensary
3841 E. Lohman Ave #2
Las Cruces, NM 88011

Las Cruces South Valley Dispensary
1240 South Valley Drive Suite D
Las Cruces, NM 88005

Perk: There is a location in Sunland Park!

4. SACRED GARDEN DISPENSARY - RUIDOSO
1601 Sudderth Drive
Ruidoso, NM 88345

Heading to the mountains and in need of some good old fashioned customer service with a knowledgeable staff? Easy parking? Convenient location? Sacred Garden Dispensary Ruidoso is the place for you.

One reviewer said:

"Awesome atmosphere. The guys and gals are amazing, very informative and insightful. Love the variety and prices!!"

Perk: There is also a location in Las Cruces, NM.

3. HIGH DESERT RELIEF - SANTA FE
5041 Main St, Suite 102
Santa Fe, NM 87507

Never a bad idea to trust a 4.7 star review on Google. If you need some air after a long day at the balloon fest, or have a break from shooting "Rust 2," this is your weed way in Santa Fe.

One reviewer said:

"Excellent dispensary. As a first time customer I was very impressed with the introduction of the store from the budtender. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. The prices are very good here. The presentation of buds was very nice. Will be returning. Don’t sleep on this place."

2. ROCKY MOUNTAIN CANNABIS - ANTHONY
138 Anthony Drive
Anthony, NM 88021

New, clean, and 20 minutes from El Paso. When you're almost there, you'll see a clear, marijuana leaf-branded sign you can see from the side of the road. If travelling North, you can parallel park on the right side, directly in front of the entrance. If you prefer lot parking, there are a couple within steps.

Unfortunately, it's close enough to a police station to increase blood flow to the heart. It also doesn't have its rewards program set up.

1. R. GREENLEAF - LAS CRUCES
2750 Mall Drive #206
Las Cruces, NM 88011

Easy access, in and out, conveniently located near the Mesilla Valley Mall off of I-25. A good stop before or after partaking in collegiate athletic viewing events, some may suggest.

Do we give them credit for the 4.20 star rating on Google Review? Call it a coincidence.

The rewards program is lucrative. For every $1000 you spend you get $100 off and a free 1/8th. If you spend $500, you get $50 off and a free hat that if you wear every Wednesday you get an additional discount. Other dispensaries will surely catch up on the rewards programs, but until then, get that RGD.
