21+ only
This site lists licensed cannabis retailers. You need to be 21 or over, or 18 and over with a valid medical cannabis card where your state allows it.
21 licensed shops open in Albuquerque right now, ranked on a star rating weighted by how many people actually left one. Happy Dispensary leads at 5.0.
A 4.9 from 300 people is a weaker claim than a 4.8 from 7,000, so every rating here is pulled toward the New Mexico average in proportion to how few reviews sit behind it. Both figures are printed on each entry.

Visitors say the staff walk them through the whole purchase, and the room earns praise for easygoing, friendly energy. Flower, vapes, edibles and concentrates fill the menu, and people keep coming back for the bud itself. Parking is free in the lot or on the street, and credit cards are accepted.

Budtenders here listen first, then narrow things down to a couple of good choices, and they will run through the current specials if you ask. The menu covers flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, concentrates and topicals. Women-owned and LGBTQ+ owned, and medical patients should bring their card along with ID.

A star average hides how many people stood behind it. Every rating is shrunk toward the New Mexico mean in proportion to its review count, so a shop needs a high score and real volume to reach the top. The weighted figure sits next to the raw one on every entry.
Every one Google lists as open and licensed under a cannabis category at the time of the last check. Shops that had closed permanently or temporarily are dropped, as is anything that turned up in the search but sits outside New Mexico.
Because we have not read one. Plenty of shops sell only through a third-party ordering platform that publishes nothing on their own domain, and a brand list is not worth guessing at.
Quarterly. Ratings move and shops close, and a list nobody re-checks becomes a directory of places that used to be good.
