The Cannabis Regulation Act (NMSA 1978 § 26-2C-1 et seq., enacted 2021) legalizes home cultivation of up to six mature plants per adult (twelve per household), making seed purchase and possession by adults 21+ lawful; licensed cannabis retailers may sell seeds and clones. The Act also permits transfers of cannabis, including seeds, without remuneration between adults. Hemp seed is handled under New Mexico's Hemp Manufacturing Act, with cultivation requiring an NMDA hemp producer license.
