About the Area
Old Town is the 1706 heart of the city: the Plaza, San Felipe de Neri Church, the Albuquerque Museum, Explora and the Natural History Museum, and the shops and restaurants around the square. Mountain Rd runs straight from the north edge of Old Town to our block, passing the Sawmill Market food hall on the way. Old Town itself has no dispensary storefronts inside the historic district, so most visitors drive east to us.
Visiting from Out of Town?
Any adult 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID from any state or country can buy recreational cannabis in New Mexico. No medical card, no residency, no appointment.
Bring cash or a debit card (credit cards are not accepted at New Mexico dispensaries; there is an ATM on site). Consumption is prohibited in public places, in vehicles, and in most hotel rooms, so edibles and vapes are the practical choice for a stay. Cannabis cannot leave New Mexico or go through airport security. New to cannabis? Read Cannabis for Beginners first, and start with 2.5–5 mg if you choose an edible.
