As a cancer survivor Our Lady of the Arroyo has had her green card since 2017 and Fruit of the Earth Organics her preferred dispensary so when New Mexico legalized for all adults they remained a favorite. Their paper packaging is annoying as product can get stuck in the folds at the bottom of the pouch but as we tried other retailers we learned pretty quickly that packaging is a big deal.
With forty dispensaries and counting, Santa Fe is nearing "cannabis retail oversaturation" and some retailers are offering penny pre-rolls or even free grams with purchases. Santa Fe Craft Cannabis lured us in with $1 grams but sure as shit, underneath their display of top shelf flower, is a row of black plastic containers in boxes emblazoned with the label, "Made in China." But they're hardly alone as Best Daze, PurLife, Sacred Garden, R.Greenleaf, Ultra Health and Southwest Cannabis all use plastic containers that are ineligible for refilling.
Fruit of the Earth fell off the top of the 2023 Best of Santa Fe cannabis ratings except for a couple categories because other dispensaries were cheaper and had more strain variety but we have rounded back to them to avoid more plastic going into the municipal waste stream. Their 3.5 gram pouches are unbleached paper and while their 7 gram bags are bleached they're still superior to plastic.
Cannabis ingestion is a shield against Covid-19 according to one study.
