New Mexico
Thursday evening forecast
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Dry air has moved in behind Thursday night’s storm, leading to clearer skies from west to east today.
Clouds will linger a bit longer in eastern New Mexico, with highs staying 5 to 15 degrees below normal, reaching the upper 30s and low 40s in the east.
Tonight, clearing skies will cause temperatures to drop sharply, with many valleys falling into the teens and single digits.
Gallup and Grants are expected to drop into the single digits, and Angel Fire may dip below zero.
Fog is unlikely tonight and Friday morning, though a few pockets of low clouds or brief visibility issues are possible near Dulce, the Estancia Valley, and the Lower Pecos River Valley near Roswell.
NBA Christmas Day preview
From Thunder–Spurs to Wolves–Nuggets and Knicks–Cavs, which NBA Christmas Day matchup are you most looking forward to?
An NBA veteran made a Christmas Eve stop for something green at a Santa Teresa cannabis dispensary.
Markieff Morris of the Los Angeles Lakers visited Hi Life Dispensary in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, on Christmas Eve while spending time with family in the El Paso area, according to budtender Edgar Omar Tovar, who goes by “Chino.”
Hi Life, located at 5620 McNutt Road, offers both medical and recreational cannabis under New Mexico’s legalization laws. Retail sales of adult-use cannabis began in April 2022.
Cannabis sales in New Mexico continue to climb. In November, dispensaries reported $45.9 million in revenue from 814,229 transactions, with adult-use purchases totaling $35.8 million and medical sales $10 million. Since legalization, cumulative statewide sales have surpassed $2.02 billion, including $1.45 billion in adult-use and $572.7 million in medical sales, across more than 45 million transactions, according to the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department.
Are NBA players allowed to use cannabis?
Under the 2023 NBA–NBPA Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), cannabis is not a prohibited substance and players are not randomly tested for marijuana. However, the league can still take action if a player is impaired during team or NBA activities or violates the law or conduct rules.
The agreement also permits players to invest in cannabis-related businesses (with restrictions) and endorse certain CBD products with prior approval. In short, off-court cannabis use is not automatically a violation, but on-duty impairment remains prohibited.
