How to check a New Mexico cannabis license

1. Search CCD’s license list

1. Go to CCD’s public license search .
2. Pick how to search: by business name, license number, business address, license type or license status.¹
3. Find the store. Results show the license type, license status, business name and premises address.¹
4. Check the license type. Businesses that sell to the public may be licensed as a Cannabis Retailer, a Vertically Integrated Cannabis Establishment or an Integrated Cannabis Microbusiness.²¹
5. Check that the status says Active and the address matches the store. Click the view icon for the full license details.¹

The search also shows statuses such as Active-Conditional, Pending Processing, Suspended, Revoked for Disciplinary Action, Canceled and Expired - Non Renewable. CCD doesn’t explain these on the search page.¹ If the status is anything other than Active, ask CCD before you buy.

At the store, staff must check your ID. You need to be 21 or older, or 18 or older with a medical cannabis registry card from the Department of Health.³

2. If you order delivery

• Delivery must come from a licensed store, by a licensed cannabis courier or a store licensed to courier.²³
• The store must check your photo ID (and your medical card, if you use one) electronically before the order.³
• At delivery, the driver must check that your photo ID matches the order and get your signature. The driver may not leave the package at your door.³
• One delivery can hold no more than 2 ounces of cannabis, 16 grams of extract and 800 mg of edibles. Perishable products can’t be delivered.³

3. Check the label and keep the package

Licensed products show the state’s THC logo, lab-tested potency in bold and the warning “For use only by adults 21 and older. Keep out of reach of children.”⁴ Edibles also show THC and CBD in milligrams per serving.⁴

The expiration date, the poison center number and the track-and-trace number must be on the label or behind a QR code on the package.⁴

CCD recall notices link to lists of the affected package IDs and the stores that got them.⁵ Keep the package so you can match it. See CCD’s recall notices .

Warning signs

• A seller with no license. Only licensed businesses may sell cannabis. Homegrown cannabis can’t be sold or traded.⁶
• Edibles over the limit. Adult-use edibles may have no more than 10 mg of THC per serving and 100 mg per package. Higher-dose edibles must be marked for medical use only.⁴ In February 2026, CCD recalled a medical edible that was over the legal THC limit.⁵
• Packages that look like candy or target kids. Packages must not appeal to children or use the word “candy.”⁴
