+
+### New Mexico Cannabis Overview
+
+- **Adult Use (21+)**: In New Mexico, adults age 21 or older may legally purchase and possess cannabis from licensed dispensaries. Possession limits and purchase amounts are subject to state law.  
+- **Medical Program**: New Mexico also offers a medical cannabis program for patients with qualifying conditions (e.g., chronic pain, PTSD). Medical patients may have different possession or purchase limits.  
+- **Important**: It remains illegal to transport cannabis across state lines, and public consumption is restricted.
+

+
+### Types of Cannabis Strains
+
+1. **Sativa**: Often associated with uplifting, energizing effects that some consumers find helpful for daytime use.  
+2. **Índica**: Commonly reported as relaxing or sedating, potentially aiding with sleep or stress relief.  
+3. **Híbrida (Hybrid)**: A blend of Sativa and Indica traits, offering balanced effects depending on the specific strain.
+
+> **Nota en Español**: Las variedades de cannabis pueden variar en efectos y potencia. Es importante comenzar con dosis bajas y aumentar gradualmente para encontrar la cantidad adecuada.

+
+### Cannabinoids & Terpenes
+
+- **THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)**: Primary psychoactive compound; may cause euphoria, relaxation, or side effects like anxiety or paranoia if consumed in high doses.  
+- **CBD (Cannabidiol)**: Non-intoxicating compound; often used for pain, inflammation, or anxiety without producing a “high.”  
+- **Terpenes**: Aromatic compounds (e.g., limonene, myrcene, pinene) that influence strain flavor and effect. The “entourage effect” suggests cannabinoids and terpenes may work synergistically.
+
+---
+
+### Responsible Use & Safety
+
+- **Start Low, Go Slow**: New consumers should begin with small doses to gauge tolerance and effects.  
+- **Side Effects**: Possible dry mouth, red eyes, increased appetite, or drowsiness. In some individuals, higher doses may trigger anxiety or paranoia.  
+- **Medical Disclaimer**: Cannabis use should be discussed with a healthcare provider, especially for those on medications or with underlying health conditions.
+
+> **Consejo en Español**: Siempre consulte con un médico antes de usar cannabis con fines medicinales. Si experimenta efectos adversos, reduzca la dosis o suspenda su uso y busque orientación profesional.
+

+
+### Community & Culture
+
+- **Hispanic Community in New Mexico**: Many dispensaries and budtenders offer bilingual services to assist Spanish-speaking patients and customers. Local traditions and cultural understanding can play a role in how cannabis is used or perceived.  
+- **Events & Education**: Look for community events, workshops, or dispensary “education days” that offer detailed information about cannabis strains, products, and responsible consumption.
