“I want you to knock the socks off of this industry,” she told 300 attendees at the New Mexico Cannabis Legalization Conference on Wednesday.
Lujan Grisham said she wants people around the country to say, “Have you heard about New Mexico? It’s not green and red anymore” — as in chile — “it’s green and green.”
She predicted New Mexico’s cannabis eventually will top the product sold in Colorado. That state’s governor, Jared Polis, once challenged Lujan Grisham to a taste-off to find out once and for all which state grew the best green chile.
Lujan Grisham made her brief remarks at the Albuquerque Convention Center, where the two-day event is being held. The conference brought together established cannabis businesses and potential entrepreneurs for a series of presentations, workshops and study sessions all centered on the myths, realities and challenges of a brand-new industry.
