Consider Colorado. I believe the laws are much more relaxed here. But the cost of living is kinda high IMO.
There's no shortage of medicine here. It's the wild west - seams everybody and their niece are growing MMJ here. Everybody 'cept me..... :(
I don't know a thing about NM - 'cept that it's about 4hrs south of here. :stoned:
Man I hear you! The closer together that people stuff themselves the creepier I get. The road to my house is bad. I have had four people visit my house in the last five years. I have had more bears visit than people. But that isn't for everyone...Quote:

Ruidoso has no "downs".
This is a discussion of moving to New Mexico,not colorado.Quote:

You guys crack me up! Must be nice to take a leak in your front yard. Us women can't do that so I bow to you all. :lol5:
Sounds to me like the laws are more strict and there could be a shortage of medicine in NM. My suggestion that they consider Colorado was relevant to the discussion. It is in relatively the same geographical location as NM. The weather and climate is very similar to that of NM. The landscape and scenery are also very similar to what you will find in NM. The laws in Colorado appear to be much more relaxed as well. Trust me when I tell you there's no shortage of medicine at the dispensaries in Colorado.Quote:

:jointsmile:
I appreciate your input and will take it into consideration. I believe the climate is warmer in NM than in Colorado. My husbands ms acts up pretty bad due to cold and snow and the winters here in Illinois are BRUTAL to say the least. This is one of the reasons we are choosing NM. They may have the cold but the winter duration is much less than Illinois for sure. We don't even see 50-60 degrees until April, maybe May. LOLQuote:
