Cannabis enthusiasts in New Mexico will be thrilled to learn that the state’s first cannabis consumption lounge has opened.
Las Cruces’ Sol Cannabis received the consumption license in the city of Las Cruces.
Kwame Ponshock is one of the founders of Sol Cannabis and he believes this is a huge win for the cannabis scene in Las Cruces.
“This is really groundbreaking not only for us, but for the state of New Mexico, we’re putting cannabis on the map,” Ponshock remarked.
Ponshock wanted to create a safe space for marijuana consumers.
“I wanted to have a refuge for people like myself and be able to utilize cannabis in a cannabis friendly zone with other cannabis users gives us a way to adapt and be more public,” Ponshock said.
The current law in the state of New Mexico requires people to consume cannabis mostly in their homes. The lounge is the first to offer this type of experience for customers.
For Ponshock he has a clear message for those who are against marijuana.
“Don’t knock it until you try it … we’re coming to the end of prohibition and places like this are giving a home for all users and it’s exciting for us to be able to spread the joy and love cannabis has brought us,” Ponshock said.
