Butte Cannabis, LLC's Highway 195 retail license in New Mexico has been marked inactive on the state license roster, according to records updated September 12. The closure appears part of a larger wave: at least 11 other licensees—including Vireo of Santa Fe, Purlife Holdings (two locations), and PSM Legacy—were simultaneously flagged as no longer active on the same day.

New Mexico's adult-use market remains substantial, with 1,006 open retail locations and 1,075 cultivation licenses active as of the roster update. The simultaneous deactivation of multiple operators suggests either a batch administrative update to the license database or a coordinated compliance action, though state regulator details are not provided.

Watch for any official statement clarifying whether these closures reflect voluntary shutdowns, license expirations, or enforcement actions—and whether additional operators are affected in subsequent roster updates.
