The clock is ticking to the start of legal recreational-use cannabis sales in New Mexico. April 1st at noon is the first time people can buy cannabis without having a medical card. So, how ready is the state for this new industry? We check in with Kristen Thomson, Director of the New Mexico Cannabis Control Division, to find out. Specifically, the Growing Forward team wants to know if there is concern about a shortage of supply, given the aggressive timeline for this rollout. In addition, lawmakers failed to make an adjustment to the Cannabis Regulation Act during the recent regular legislative session.
We also find out the role social media like TikTok and Instagram is having in educating people about the science of cannabis. Riley Kirk is very active on both platforms and also co-hosts a podcast with Dr. Miyabe Shields called Smoke 'n Science. Kirk helps explain some of interesting new research about the possibility that cannabis could ward off COVID-19. But, she also explains the differences between smoking cannabis, and using other types of the plant like vapes, edibles and tinctures.
