Ghost Town Revival with a Cannabis Twist

In the ghost town of Glenrio, straddling the New Mexico-Texas border, a couple’s bold plan to revive the Route 66 relic almost backfired when a GPS glitch nearly put them on the wrong side of the law—until they realized the dispensary was legally on New Mexico soil. Once a thriving stop for travelers, Glenrio fell into decay until Gabi Tuschak and Erik Spain bought land in 2021, pivoting from a motel restoration to a cannabis dispensary to fund the bigger comeback. They opened in just 15 months, raised funds faster than expected, and now aim to rebuild the motel, add a restaurant and shops, and resurrect the town’s iconic sign—turning a sleepy border town into a vibrant, legal hotspot.
