Hobbs sits a few minutes from the Texas state line, so plenty of the customers at our Hobbs dispensary drive over from Seminole, Andrews, Denver City, Midland, Odessa and Lubbock. If that’s you, welcome. Here’s what to know before your first visit to a dispensary in Hobbs, New Mexico, so your trip is easy and stays legal.
Yes, you can buy cannabis in New Mexico with a Texas ID
Recreational cannabis is legal in New Mexico for adults 21 and older, and you don’t need to be a New Mexico resident. Bring a valid, unexpired government photo ID: a Texas driver’s license, state ID, passport or military ID all work. If you have a medical cannabis card from another state, bring it too. Out-of-state medical cards are accepted at HDR Hobbs.
How much you can buy
New Mexico law limits what an adult-use customer can buy and carry at one time:
- Flower: up to 2 ounces
- Concentrates and extracts: up to 16 grams
- Edibles: up to 800 mg of THC
That’s far more than most visitors need. If you’re new to cannabis, start small and see how it treats you.
The big rule: it stays in New Mexico
Cannabis is still illegal in Texas, and taking it across a state line is against both Texas and federal law, even when you bought it legally here. Plan to enjoy what you buy while you’re in New Mexico. That means:
- Use it on private property where the owner allows it. Many hotels don’t allow smoking or vaping, so ask before you book.
- No smoking or vaping in public places like parks, sidewalks or parking lots, and never in a car.
- Never drive high. New Mexico’s DWI laws cover cannabis the same as alcohol.
- While driving, keep products sealed and out of the driver’s reach. The trunk is best.
Edibles are a popular choice for visitors because there’s no smoke and no smell. Just remember they take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in. Start with 2.5 to 5 mg of THC and wait before taking more. Our edibles dosage chart shows what different doses feel like.
