[Neighbors] News for Hilleños, Cannabis Retail Location Approvals Issued by CABQ

Wed Mar 2 15:05:47 MST 2022

Thx Gary.  The map is not particularly user friendly, IMHO.  But I think I understand there will be a rec facility at Amherst & Central.  I thought the plan (goal) was to avoid rec shops in residential areas.  This location (Amherst & Central) is in a residential area.  Another Q I couldn’t figure out is whether medical cannabis venues will also sell recreational cannabis.  Any info on that?

Peace.  K
