The caveats that matter
- 2025 NMED rule caps hemp finished products at 0.3% total THC (full spectrum) / 0.005% (broad spectrum), which excludes high-THCA flower
- Intoxicating cannabis flower is lawful only through Cannabis Regulation Act licensed retailers
- Before the 2025 rule NM was a gray market; the emergency-then-permanent rule closed it
Enforcement, in practice
NMED and the Cannabis Control Division coordinate on embargoing non-compliant hemp products; enforcement stepped up alongside the 2025 rule.
