Montana's cannabis regulator deactivated the license for Brian Barnett's Mile High Missoula LLC on Aug. 5, according to the state license roster. The closure was one of at least a dozen license deactivations recorded the same day, including operations by Holistic Harvest Cannabis Farms, Three Rivers Cannabis, Lionheart International, and Yellowstoned Cannabis Co., suggesting a coordinated regulatory action or batch enforcement sweep.

The timing and scale of closures—occurring across retail, cultivation, and manufacturing operations—indicate possible license revocation following inspection failures, compliance violations, or administrative lapses, though the regulator has not disclosed specific grounds for the deactivations. Montana maintains 538 active retail licenses, 306 cultivation licenses, and 181 manufacturing licenses as of the roster update.

Watch for any public statement from Montana's cannabis regulator clarifying the cause of the Aug. 5 deactivations, which may signal whether broader compliance issues are affecting the market or whether closures were tied to individual operator conduct.
