"Texan Marijuana Buyers Transform New Mexico into 'Little Amsterdam'"

Since New Mexico legalized recreational marijuana, the border town of Sunland Park has seen a surge in cannabis dispensaries, attracting buyers from nearby El Paso, Texas, where recreational marijuana is still illegal. The town has become a hub for marijuana sales, with Texas residents fueling a "Little Amsterdam" economy. The influx of cannabis businesses has transformed the town's landscape and economy, bringing in significant tax revenue. However, the marijuana boom has also highlighted the stark differences in laws and policies between Texas and New Mexico, including issues related to immigration, abortion, and drug enforcement.
