Yellowstoned Cannabis Co.'s lab license (Yellowstoned Labs) has been deactivated in Montana, according to the state license roster. The closure was recorded August 5, matching a wave of other license deactivations the same day across multiple license categories—retail, cultivation, and manufacturing operations.

At least 11 other Montana operators saw licenses inactivated on August 5, including Sacred Sun Farms Inc. (multiple license types), Holistic Harvest Cannabis Farms, Three Rivers Cannabis, Lionheart International, and others. The timing and scale of simultaneous deactivations suggests possible regulatory compliance sweeps or batch license reviews rather than individual business failures.

Montana currently maintains 3 active lab licenses among 538 retail, 306 cultivation, and 181 manufacturing operations. Watch for state regulator guidance on whether these deactivations reflect license expirations, voluntary surrenders, or enforcement actions.
