Lifted Organics Distribution License Deactivates in California
State roster shows a Lifted Organics transport license no longer active, even as other licenses under the same name remain listed as active.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0A license held by Lifted Organics is no longer active in California, according to the state license roster, marking the latest in a steady stream of closures logged across the state's cannabis licensing system this month.
The closure was recorded alongside several other deactivations in the same roster update cycle, including Next Green Generation, LLC, Yubra LLC, Next Green Wave, LLC, Scanacart Enterprise LLC, and Pipe Dreamz — suggesting the pace of license attrition in California has continued at a regular clip through mid-August.
The numbers
Official license records matching the company show two separate Lifted Organics entries, both categorized as Commercial – Distributor – Transport Only licenses (C13-0000310-LIC and C13-0000334-LIC), and both currently listed with a status of 'Active' in the records provided. This appears to indicate that the deactivation reported in the roster event may pertain to a license not captured in — or since updated relative to — the two records shown, though the available data does not clarify which specific license number corresponds to the closure.
Statewide, California currently lists 1,261 open retail licenses, 4,415 open cultivation licenses, 446 open manufacturing licenses, and 18 open labs, according to state license stats. Against that backdrop, a single distributor-transport license change represents a small fraction of the state's overall licensed footprint, though distribution and transport licenses are not broken out separately in the provided totals.
No pending applications or revenue-year-to-date figures were listed in the state stats snapshot, and no monthly sales data was available for California in this dataset, limiting further context on how the broader market is trending alongside individual license changes.
What to watch next
Given the discrepancy between the roster's closure notice and the 'Active' status shown on the two matching license records, further roster updates may clarify whether one of Lifted Organics' transport licenses was retired while the other remains in operation. The closure also arrives as related coverage flags continued regulatory activity in the state, including advancement of AB2249, legislation addressing cannabis labeling, packaging, and manufacturing standards — a measure that could affect distribution and transport licensees like Lifted Organics depending on how compliance requirements evolve.
