CCD Issues Embargo On Primos Raw Organics
On February 11, 2026, the state locked down roughly 773.5 pounds of flower tied to Primos Raw Organics in Clovis New Mexico, under Embargo Order 2026-002, issued by the Enforcement Bureau in coordination with the CCD.
On January 12, 2026, Clovis police were dispatched to 2121 E. Llano Estacado Blvd. in Clovis—a commercial self-storage facility located roughly six miles from the licensed premises. With consent from the property manager, officers accessed Storage Unit 6, where they discovered forty-four black-and-yellow 108-quart storage bins packed with finished flower. The material was not stored at a licensed location and was later confirmed to be tied to an expired producer license, setting the stage for state enforcement action.
Primos Raw Organics’ producer license expired March 20, 2025.
A reapplication filed in February 2025 was deemed deficient and never approved.
In January 2026, Clovis police found 44 large storage bins of flower inside a self-storage unit.
Track-and-trace identifiers on those bins pointed back to Primos’ expired license.
Because the product wasn’t transferred to another licensed facility—or properly destroyed—before the license lapsed, regulators say it fell outside the regulated market and became illicit under state law.
The embargo is an administrative hold, not a final punishment.
There’s also a hard warning baked in: interfering with an embargo—moving, hiding, destroying product—can be charged as a fourth-degree felony under New Mexico law.
The implications
This is a harsh reminder that licenses don’t fade out—they switch off. When they do, so does digital access to the inventory.
For operators, the lesson is brutal and simple: end-of-license hygiene matters. Every gram needs a destination—another licensed facility with a manifest, or documented waste—before the clock runs out. Miss that window and you’re no longer arguing over compliance; you’re arguing over evidence.
Expect tighter scrutiny around expirations and inventory continuity. Regulators are signaling they’ll follow the tags wherever they lead—and if they lead to a dead license, the product doesn’t get a second life.
