Inventory · · Aug 2, 2026
Current legal posture, enforcement, market, and the latest New Mexico hemp & THC headlines.
| Posture | Total-THC 0.3% standard so high-THCA flower not lawful at hemp retail (dispensary-only 21+). Synthetics (d8/10,THC-O,HHC) banned by HB346 (2025)+NMED emergency rule; natural hemp d9 within limits permitted. |
| Risk | medium |
| Next trigger | Federal 0.4mg cap 11/12 tightens what qualifies as hemp; NM already aligns on total-THC. |
| Litigation | No active litigation/injunction vs HB346 or NMED rule. |
| Market size | Retailers | Jobs | Tax revenue |
