State issues recall notice for cannabis that tested positive for banned pesticide • Source New Mexico
New Mexico’s cannabis regulator has issued a recall notice after a wholesaler shipped contaminated product to retailers across the state.
The contaminated product was cannabis flower, not concentrated products like gummies,, and came from WH Agriculture, known as Maggie’s Farm, according to the New Mexico Cannabis Control Division.
The product was shipped to more than 30 retailers between March 6 and August 1, according to state regulators.
A Sept. 4 notice to Maggie’s Farms notes that the state was notified in November 2023 that the company’s product tested positive for a pesticide called pyrethrins. On Aug. 30, the state asked the company to prove it was using a permissible level of the pesticide, which the company was unable to do, according to the letter.
The notice requires the company to remove and destroy all of the product that’s made it to dispensaries, r and to alert all retailers who may have bought it.
The state released a list of 32 shipments to 11 dispensaries that received the product, 23 of which are in Albuquerque. Other retailers are in Los Lunas, Sunland Park, Alamogordo and elsewhere.
The retailers that are on the list are R. Greenleaf Organics, Everest Apothecary, Loud Cloud and House of Blaze.
The New Mexico Cannabis Control Division is asking people to review the list and pay attention to the package identification number. They’re advised to destroy the product or return it to the retailer to be destroyed.
No health-related complaints have been reported, according to a news release. But the state says anyone with concerns can call the state poison control hotline at (800) 222-1222.
According to the division’s website, this is the second time it has issued a mandatory recall notice. In March, an Albuquerque retailer was ordered to destroy cannabis concentrates that tested positive with the banned pesticide called malathion.

New Mexico Lobo players and coaches make moves after successful season, AD departure
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A successful University of New Mexico Lobo athletics season and the athletics director’s departure has culminated in players and coaches making moves.
The moves follow a successful 2025 season and the departure of athletics director Fernando Lovo.
Running back coach John Johnson, special teams coordinator Daniel Da Prato and wide receiver coach Colin Lockett are all leaving the Lobos after just one season. Johnson is headed to Iowa State while Da Prato is expected to join Minnesota and Lockett is headed to UCLA, all for the same jobs.
Johnson’s Lobo running backs ran for more than 1,400 yards. Da Prato’s special teams finished top-five nationally in kickoff returns.
Running back D.J. McKinney entered the portal, he confirmed on social media the day the portal officially opened. McKinney rushed for 464 yards and seven touchdowns with the Lobos.
Two players who received all-Mountain West Conference recognition also made moves. All-Mountain West tight-end Dorian Thomas, who caught for touchdowns for the Lobos, entered the portal. Meanwhile, all-Mountain West honorable mention punter Daniel Hughes is set to leave.
Others set to leave include:
- Cole Welliver, backup quarterback who played in one game
- Landon Williams, defensive end who graduated from La Cueva High School
- Randolph Kpai, senior linebacker who is at the end of his college football career without a waiver

New Mexico transfer LS Trey Dubuc commits to Texas
After Lance St. Louis served as the starting long snapper for the Texas Longhorns for four seasons, special teams coordinator Jeff Banks landed an experienced replacement when New Mexico Lobos transfer Trey Dubuc pledged while on a visit to the Forty Acres.
The pledge from Dubuc ensures that Texas has experienced replacements for three specialists despite signing high school prospects at each position — with the SEC expanding to 105 scholarships in 2026, Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian can afford to develop high school recruits at those positions behind experienced transfers like Dubuc.
The Fort Lauderdale product started his career at USF after playing on two state championship teams at Cardinal Gibbons. A 6’1, 209-pounder, Dubuc redshirted during his freshman season in 2023 before appearing in one game as the backup long snapper the following year.
After transferring to New Mexico, Dubuc served as the starting long snapper while making two tackles for the Lobos.
