As 4/20 Day approaches, cannabis enthusiasts in Texas face a unique challenge. Despite the growing acceptance of recreational marijuana across the country, Texas maintains its prohibition on legal cannabis.
However, nearby New Mexico offers a solution for those determined to celebrate. With legal dispensaries just a short drive away, Texans can cross state lines to purchase cannabis products legally.
Here are some of the top dispensaries in New Mexico to try. Just remember, you can't legally bring it back to Texas.
