New Mexico medical cannabis is nothing new – The Land of Enchantment has had a tightly restricted medical marijuana program since 2007. What is new is that since April 1st, 2022, New Mexico recreational cannabis became legal for sale from licensed retailers as well. New Mexicans over 21 had been allowed to possess and use recreational cannabis since June 2021, but as of this year with the somewhat recently signed Cannabis Regulation Act, they are now legally allowed to purchase up to 57 grams (2 ounces) of New Mexico marijuana, 16 grams of cannabis extract, and 800 milligrams of edible cannabis at one time. Excess of that amount can be stored within a residence, as long as it is hidden from public view, and adults can grow up to six immature plants for their own usage with a household limit of 12 plants total.
It’s important to note that you still can’t bring New Mexico weed into the state of Texas, where cannabis is still illegal, still cannot drive while under the influence, and still cannot consume New Mexico marijuana in public (unless it’s in a designated consumption area) without being fined, and anyone wishing to sell must have a license – but these new changes have definitely made it easier for New Mexico pot aficionados to obtain what they want and need.
While New Mexico cannabis packaging laws are relatively relaxed when compared to some other states, there are still rules as laid out in Title 16.8.3 NMAC that must be adhered to as a legally licensed business dispensing product. That’s why a lot of companies choose to work with a vendor knowledgeable in their market.
