BORDER BUDS, a Colorado cannabis product manufacturer and retailer, has been marked inactive on the state license roster as of August 4, according to official state records. The company held two active licenses—a manufacturer permit (404R-00558) and a store license (402R-00935)—prior to deactivation.

The closure appears part of a broader single-day deactivation event: at least 11 other Colorado cannabis licensees were marked inactive simultaneously, including LIVWELL (listed twice), CHILLNOW, MOUNTAIN HIGH 14047 LLC, and several other retailers, cultivators, and distributors. Colorado's active license count remains substantial at 1,865 combined retail, cultivation, and manufacturing operations.

Watch for clarification on whether the August 4 deactivations reflect compliance actions, voluntary closures, or administrative reconciliation. The timing and clustering of inactivations suggests a potential regulatory audit or batch license review rather than market-driven attrition.
