Back to the parks! No consumption lounges in Santa Fe
<p> As readers probably already know by now, cannabis smoking lounges <a href="https://www.sfreporter.com/news/2023/07/12/cant-sumption/" rel="noopener noreferrer">are not allowed in Santa Fe city limits</a>. As SFR previously reported, anything resembling a cannabis friendly lounge in the city, is just that: A place to hang after you’ve partaken, not during. A couple of businesses that had originally planned on opening their doors to jokers, smokers and mid-day tokers are now pivoting to event spaces where folks can swing by and catch a show or play games.Canna Fe, a dispensary across the street from Meow Wolf might have been the perfect spot for on site consumption, but alas, manager Pamela Martinez Stahnke has new plans for the space above the dispensary. Check out this month’s episode and just know we don’t really care if you spark one before, during or after listening. (or maybe even not at all) </p>

High(er) Ed: Learning about the ins, outs and what-have-yous of weed
<p>Anyone reading this who doesn’t at least recognize the name Dave Matthews is probably fresh out of their cave for the first time in three decades. But you’re excused from knowing the name Brian Monk, even though he had a somewhat indirect part in launching the now iconic Dave Matthews Band’s career. Monk was one-third of the Boyd Tinsley Trio when the band took Matthews and his crew out on tour, but that threesome quickly disbanded before Boyd Tinsley himself became the fiddle player for the Dave Matthews Band and the ants began to march.Monk kept going musically, but started to fall in love with Santa Fe and during the COVID pandemic moved here full time and eventually found work slinging weed at Kure downtown. He says it was the barrage of questions he faced as a budtender that inspired him to launch <a href="https://nmhighered.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NM Higher Education</a>. Monk can still be found behind the counter, but he’s also working on launching educational videos he hopes will clear up a lot of those daily questions he still hears.</p>

Smoke and Stretch: When Yoga Meets Cannabis
<p>Weed lounges, or the more dry term "consumption areas," are really a thing in New Mexico, thanks to the Cannabis Regulation Act passed in 2021. Lounges where you can legally puff in public have not taken off as quickly or become as prolific as dispensaries, but one retail spot down in Albuquerque figured out a twist on chillaxing with your favorite strain. Nia Harris, owner of Herban Oasis Apothecary, figured out that folks may want to do more than toke up in a recreated version of their respective living rooms. Enter weed yoga. After paying for the class, attendees pick up a pre-roll from the dispensary and head upstairs where they’ll be greeted by one of the two teachers who guide folks through stretches, breathing and meditation. After taking a puff or two, the uber-mind expansion starts. The dispensary also offers some products that are light on the THC and heavy on CBD, so blasting off into the stratosphere is not a requirement. Harris says one of her goals is to connect with the cannabis community, so she also launched a “puff and paint” class and has more ideas on the way. </p>
