Belen keeps its cannabis on one street: five of Verdex's 12 listings are on South Main Street, at numbers 203, 207, 211, 705 and 804. Everest Apothecary is at 203, Cowboy Verde at 211, Road Runner Organics at 705 and Budding Bar and Dispensary at 804.

The remaining shops are on NM 47 and Highway 314, including Bubbas Buds at 19514 Highway 314. The counter will ask for a valid ID showing you are 21, and the cap per sale is 2 ounces of flower, far more than most shoppers need in one trip.

What to know before driving down

Belen is in Valencia County, on the Rio Grande south of Los Lunas, and the licences come from the New Mexico Cannabis Control Division at the Regulation and Licensing Department. One listing has the address 300 Rio Communities, which points to the neighbouring city of Rio Communities: OCC ABQ's shop. Another, Dispensary Near Me on NM 47, is listed as a manufacturer rather than a shop.

  • Side by side: numbers 203, 207 and 211 South Main are three neighbouring doors, so you can compare menus on foot.
  • Cost: the state's cannabis excise tax is 14% from July 1, 2026, plus gross receipts tax that varies by place.
  • Quality check: reading a cannabis label helps you compare test results between stores.

Use is limited to private property and licensed consumption areas. Verdex lists the licences but has not scored the twelve entries yet, so call a shop ahead if you are making a special trip.
