Who regulates cannabis retail in New Mexico?

New Mexico Cannabis Control Division (CCD) is the state cannabis regulator for New Mexico. Official site: https://www.rld.nm.gov/cannabis.

What seed-to-sale track-and-trace system does New Mexico use?

New Mexico uses NMS2S, the New Mexico Seed-to-Sale System the Cannabis Control Division moved the entire industry onto on September 4, 2026, replacing BioTrack. CannAgent structures its inventory and transfer records to the fields NMS2S requires; there is no integrator connection to NMS2S yet, and we say so before you sign rather than implying a filing path we do not have.

What cannabis taxes apply to retail in New Mexico?

At the register, as of September 2026: the 14% cannabis excise on adult-use sales (rising a point each July 1 through 2030), plus gross receipts tax at your location’s rate, up to about 9.4%; medical sales are outside the excise.

New Mexico dispensary POS for CCD rules and NMS2S

A direct NMS2S connection is not built yet.

Your rules, handled

New Mexico’s tax rules and purchase limits are written into CannAgent’s compliance engine from the rule text. Where a figure still waits on an answer from the CCD, it is flagged against the rule rather than guessed.

What we have written for New Mexico

New Mexico coverage is written against CCD rules: the bulletins, NMS2S as the state’s mandated track-and-trace for both medical and adult-use since 2026-09-04, the year-over-year excise step-up to 18% by 2030, the gross-receipts-tax variability per municipality, and the microbusiness license-class topology. We keep it current as the CCD moves. A direct NMS2S integration is not built, and we say so before you sign rather than after.
