Stocking Up for a Historic Route 66 Road Trip at 1UP Dispensary
Stocking Up for a Historic Route 66 Road Trip at 1UP Dispensary
Albuquerque sits right on the legendary Mother Road, and Historic Route 66 cuts straight through Central Avenue — just steps from 1UP Dispensary. If you're planning a road trip, day cruise, or weekend escape across New Mexico, stocking up before you go can make the journey twice as fun. Here's what we recommend (and a few important rules of the road).
Know the Rules Before You Hit the Road
• You must be 21+ with a valid ID to purchase cannabis in New Mexico.
• Cannabis must stay in its original, sealed packaging while traveling.
• Never consume cannabis while driving or while a passenger.
• Do not cross state lines with cannabis — it remains federally illegal.
• Wait until you're at your destination (private property) to consume.
The Perfect Road Trip Shopping List
• A pack of pre-rolls for the evening at your campsite or hotel.
• Low-dose edibles for chill nights without smoking.
• A disposable vape pen for discreet, easy use.
• CBD tinctures or topicals for road-weary muscles.
• Sleep-focused CBN gummies after a long drive.
• A simple grinder, papers, and lighter if you're bringing flower.
Best Strains for the Road
• Daytime stops (sightseeing, hiking, photo ops): sativas like Jack Herer or Sour Diesel — enjoyed only at the destination.
• Evenings at the hotel: hybrids like Wedding Cake or Blue Dream for an easy unwind.
• Late-night relaxation: indicas like Granddaddy Purple or Bubba Kush.
Great Stops Within a Quick Drive of 1UP
• Old Town Albuquerque – historic plaza, shops, and galleries.
• Sandia Peak Tramway – incredible views of the Rio Grande Valley.
• Petroglyph National Monument – ancient rock carvings west of town.
• Santa Fe – about an hour north on I-25, full of art and food.
• ABQ BioPark – zoo, aquarium, and gardens for a relaxed afternoon.
Travel Tips From Our Budtenders
• Buy a little more than you think you'll need — dispensary hours vary by town.
• Store products in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight (especially in the car).
• Keep receipts handy in case you're asked about your purchase.
• Hydrate, eat well, and pace yourself, especially at New Mexico's higher elevations.
