ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A KRQE News 13 investigation takes a closer look at the latest total number of recreational cannabis licenses and retail shops that have applied to open in New Mexico ahead of the April 1 deadline. As of February 15, New Mexico is just 45 days from the anticipated start of recreational cannabis sales.
