Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) shared details about the conversation with Marijuana Moment, adding that her administration is “working on a strategy to protect New Mexico’s cannabis industry” from adverse federal enforcement actions.

A social media manager for an up-and-coming actor reached out to me this week to complain that her client, who’s about to star in a “major Netflix show” and is at a pivotal point in his career, has a Wikifeet problem.
