420 sales, discounts at New Mexico cannabis dispensaries near El Paso
4/20—an informal marijuana-themed holiday—is almost here, and access to cannabis for El Pasoans has never been easier with legalization of recreational use in New Mexico.
The introduction of New Mexico's cannabis industry to El Paso has facilitated easy access to legal cannabis, and Sunland Park dispensaries consistently attract a significant share of their customers from nearby El Paso.
El Paso law enforcement, however, continues to enforce Texas marijuana laws. Both the city of El Paso and El Paso County have created programs to issue citations for people caught with low-level possession of marijuana. The citations can carry a hefty $500 fine.

What is 420?
4/20 Day is a celebration of cannabis by users, manufacturers, advocates and those new to the community. In the past, and in places where it's currently illegal, the day is used to fight and advocate for the legalized medicinal and recreational use of the plant.
The day began in the 1970s in California to fight for the decriminalization, legalization and liberalization of marijuana, and developed alongside other major drug movements like Ann Arbor, Michigan's "Hash Bash," which began in 1972 in response to the arrest of John Sinclair for the possession of two joints.
