Drinks used to be the default.
After a long week, a stressful day, a breakup, a birthday, a Tuesday… you poured a drink. That’s what adults did.
But now? That story’s changing. And fast.
More people across New Mexico—and especially millennials and Gen Xers—are choosing cannabis over alcohol. Not because they’re trying to rebel, but because they’re trying to feel better.
At The Memo, we hear it all the time:
“I don’t want to feel like crap the next day.”
“I need something that actually helps me sleep.”
“I just wanted a different kind of calm.”
This isn’t a trend. It’s a shift. And it makes sense.

Here’s Why More Adults Are Saying No to Booze and Yes to Cannabis
1. No Hangovers. Just Peace.
With cannabis, there’s no spinning room. No blackout. No nausea.
You feel the effects—and then you feel better. Simple.
2. Sleep That Actually Works
Alcohol may knock you out, but it disrupts REM sleep. Cannabis helps your body relax and restore without waking up in a fog.
3. Mental Health > Mood Swings
Many people use alcohol to “take the edge off,” but it often makes anxiety worse. Cannabis—especially the right strain—can help regulate stress and support mood without that emotional whiplash.
4. It’s About Control, Not Escapism
You can tailor your cannabis experience. Microdose. Unwind. Sleep. Socialize. Cannabis gives you options. Alcohol? Not so much.

You Don’t Need to Be a “Stoner” to Try Cannabis
We say this all the time. You don’t need to fit a stereotype.
You just need to want something real—something that doesn’t leave you drained.
“I haven’t had a drink for many years,” says Kyle Masterson, co-founder of The Memo. “Cannabis helped me show up for my family, my work, and myself. Alcohol couldn’t do that.”

This Isn’t About Judgment. It’s About Choices.
If alcohol works for you, that’s great. But if you’ve been wondering whether there’s something better… there is.
Cannabis is showing up for adults in New Mexico as:
• A better way to unwind
• A more mindful alternative
• A smarter option for long-term wellness
