Newly minted gallery owners Molly Wagoner (left) and Dezbah Stumpff want to treat artists with respect, which shouldn’t feel novel, and yet...

Really Respect
Finally! An art gallery that I can really respect [The Bat and The Buffalo]! I’ve felt for 40 years that Canyon Road had become elitist and soooo very snobby when New York and LA discovered Santa Fe—and pushed out the locals! Best of luck to you both!

The Unknowns
As a medical patient, it would have been nice to get an email from the state program explaining how it would affect us.
I know some things vary from dispensary to dispensary but much of it doesn’t. Still have no idea if medical and recreational are paying the same taxes, etc.
Given the unknowns in supply, I stocked up early so I can avoid it all for the next month or two. Now that I think about it, I’m on at least six Santa Fe dispensary mailing or text lists, and none of them sent out that information. With the exception of Sacred Garden who is staying medical only right now. (Sadly they don’t usually have what I need.)
I’m thrilled it’s legal, don’t get me wrong.
And, I’d love to see things like medical only hours, medical only specials, etc. And recognition that we rely on this medicine to function in whatever capacity we’re using it to treat ourselves. I know we’re not the bright shiny new thing that will bring in tons of revenue, but we are a big part of the reason that was made possible.
