New Mexico • DELIVERY GUIDE
Legal statewide for recreational and medical customers through licensed couriers
New Mexico legalized recreational cannabis with the Cannabis Regulation Act in 2021, building on a medical program that has existed since 2007, and both markets can be delivered to your door. Delivery in New Mexico runs through a specific license type: a Cannabis Courier, regulated by the Cannabis Control Division. A courier has to be employed by, or have a formal delivery agreement with, the licensed retailer whose product they are delivering, and they are only allowed to collect a delivery fee, not payment for the cannabis itself. Deliveries go to residential addresses only, and every delivery is capped at 2 ounces of cannabis, 16 grams of extract, and 800 milligrams of edible THC. Here is what to know before you order.
Cannabis delivery in New Mexico is provided by state-licensed Cannabis Couriers, either operating in-house for a retailer or contracted to deliver for one or more retail partners. Retailers advertise delivery on their own sites and menus.
Multi-location New Mexico dispensary offering same-day delivery across the Albuquerque metro area through its licensed delivery operation.
Delivers daily across the Albuquerque metro area during a defined afternoon and evening window.
The CCD licenses standalone courier companies that deliver on behalf of one or more licensed retailers under a delivery agreement. Coverage and participating retailers vary by courier; check a courier's service area before ordering.
Many licensed retailers run their own delivery under an in-house courier license, covering areas near their storefront. Availability is heaviest around Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces; more limited in rural counties.
Ordering works similarly whether you are a recreational customer or a registered medical patient, with the courier and the retailer playing distinct roles.
Check a licensed retailer's menu or a courier's service area to confirm they deliver to your residential address; New Mexico couriers may only deliver to residences, not hotels, offices, or other non-residential locations.
Sign up with the retailer or courier platform, providing your name, address, and a photo ID showing you are 21+, or your medical card if you are a registered patient.
Stay within the per-delivery caps: 2 ounces of cannabis, 16 grams of extract, and 800 milligrams of edible THC. Note that the courier collects only a delivery fee; you pay the retailer for the product itself, often at delivery.
Select an available delivery time. Same-day delivery is common in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and other population centers; rural areas may have longer windows or no coverage at all.
The courier verifies your government-issued photo ID (and medical card, if applicable) against the order before releasing product at your door.
Pay for the cannabis and the separate delivery fee, most often in cash. The courier hands over your order in required exit packaging.
New Mexico's courier rules are specific about who can deliver, what they can charge for, and where they can go.

Who is allowed to deliver cannabis in New Mexico?
Only a state-licensed Cannabis Courier, who must be employed by or under a delivery agreement with the licensed retailer supplying the product.
How much can be delivered to me at once?
Up to 2 ounces of cannabis, 16 grams of extract, and 800 milligrams of edible THC per delivery.
Can cannabis be delivered to a hotel or my workplace?
No. New Mexico courier rules require delivery to a residential address only.
Does the courier collect payment for the cannabis?
No. Couriers may only collect a delivery fee. Payment for the cannabis itself goes to the licensed retailer, typically at the time of delivery.
Do medical patients pay less for delivery?
Registered medical patients are exempt from New Mexico's cannabis excise tax, which lowers the total cost compared to a recreational purchase, though delivery fees themselves are set by the courier or retailer regardless of patient status.
Can out-of-state visitors order cannabis delivery in New Mexico?
Yes, for recreational purchases, with a valid government-issued ID showing you are 21+. Medical delivery requires a New Mexico-recognized medical card.
What happens if I am not home for delivery?
Couriers cannot leave cannabis unattended. If nobody is present to show ID and accept the order, it will not be left, and you will need to reschedule.
How much does delivery cost?
Delivery fees vary by courier and retailer; there is no statewide flat fee. Expect the fee to be listed separately from the product total at checkout.
Is delivery available everywhere in New Mexico?
Coverage is strongest around Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces. Rural areas have fewer courier and retailer options, so confirm coverage before ordering.
