What’s it Like Doing Business in the CBD & Cannabis Industry in 2023?
In the New Mexico market, it’s interesting times. We’re young here. We are definitely, I think doing well for our total population. Month over month revenues are holding strong in 34, 30 6 million range and per capita, that’s good. We are a small but mighty market and I think New Mexico is a great proving ground for a model like First Crop New Mexico who is really bringing something special and has an opportunity to look at really strong penetration over a short amount of time and be able to develop the skills and tools that we don’t already have in order to really approach a broader, broader vision and broader scope. The New Mexico market is great. I grew up here and seeing so many people I’ve known from years and years of being in the industry, to your point on the black market side as well years ago, it’s just great to see people give it a shot, give it a try, find a place that might fit for them and have this community developing the stigma that’s been in cannabis and just around cannabis for so long, it hampers the ability to build community and cannabis is one of those things that can connect us as people no matter what the ethnic background, the age, we’ve all been subjugated as cannabis users.

So yeah, it’s a lot of fun. I think the New Mexico market
