Kratom laws in Albuquerque, New Mexico

At the state level, kratom remains legal and is not a controlled substance in New Mexico. However, state food-safety guidance prohibits kratom in any food or beverage sold by state-permitted food establishments. In Albuquerque, the Environmental Health Department is enforcing a city ordinance and FDA guidance to ban retail kratom products in permitted food establishments, effectively restricting storefront sales in much of the city.

Historically kratom was widely sold in Albuquerque at smoke shops, vape shops, convenience stores, and specialty herb shops. Following the local enforcement action, sales through permitted food establishments have largely ceased, with remaining access primarily via online vendors shipping into the city.
