SCORE 420 - CENTRAL RETAIL, a retail dispensary location in New Mexico, is no longer active according to the state license roster as of September 12. The deactivation appears part of a broader wave: at least 12 retail and related licenses were simultaneously removed from New Mexico's roster that same day, including locations operated by Purlife Holdings, Vireo of Santa Fe, New Mexico Drip, and others.

The timing coincides with law enforcement activity in the state. On September 26, KOB 4 reported that authorities destroyed an illegal cannabis farm in Estancia and seized 21,000 pounds of product. While no direct link is established between that enforcement action and the retail license deactivations, the parallel timing suggests possible regulatory review or compliance sweeps across the market.

New Mexico maintains over 1,000 active retail licenses as of late September. The reason for SCORE 420 - CENTRAL's deactivation—whether voluntary, enforcement-driven, or administrative—is not specified in available records. Watch for additional transparency from the state regulator on whether the mass deactivation reflects a targeted enforcement period or routine license management.
