Not too late to cash in on New Mexico's green rush

If you are wanting to cash in on New Mexico's green rush, it is not too late.

Linda Trujillo is the superintendent of the New Mexico Licensing and Regulation Department. She said those who want to grow cannabis should be able to get their provisional license by Aug. 22.

“The provisional license does not let you start functioning or operating as a cannabis business, but it does at least give you that assurance so that you can then go on and get the things that you must pay for and your local stuff and then come back to us and show us that you have got it and then get licensed to start operating,” said Trujillo.

Those wanting to sell will have to wait a little longer to get their provisional license.
