Grow cannabis at home in New Mexico: city by city
The same plant behaves differently in every town: frost dates, summer heat and humidity decide when to start, when to move plants outside, and what to watch for in the tent. Here is New Mexico, city by city, from NOAA's 30-year weather records.
Adults 21 and over: yes. Plant limit: 6 mature + 6 immature per person; no more than 12 mature per household.
Limit as worded in the statute (NMSA 26-2C-25); the Cannabis Control Division's web page words the count differently, so read both. Source: NMSA Chapter 26, Article 2C. Local rules (landlords, HOAs, city codes) can add more; this is a summary, not legal advice.

|---|---|---|---|
| Albuquerque | Mar 12 to Mar 26 | Apr 23 | Apr 6 |
| Las Cruces | Mar 4 to Mar 18 | Apr 15 | Mar 12 |
| Rio Rancho | Mar 20 to Apr 3 | May 1 | Apr 8 |

Planting dates follow the rules on each city page: after the frost date that held 9 years in 10 and once nights average 45°F, and never before April 15. Weather: NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals.
