Las Cruces store says it’s complying with state cease & desist order on ‘gifting’ cannabis UPDATE, July 27: An attorney for the Speak Easy store said Tuesday that the Las Cruces business was complying with the state of New Mexico's order to cease and desist 'gifting' cannabis. “At no time were the management or employees of Speak Easy under the impression they were violating any laws or regulations," wrote Matt Madrid, the company's attorney, in a statement to ABC-7. Last week, co-owner Jason Estrada said the business is not a dispensary. "We’re a novelty and gift shop," he said. In an interview Tuesday with ABC-7, the deputy superintendent of New Mexico's Regulation and Licensing Department on accused the business of selling cannabis before they were licensed to do so.
