The Plant's recreational producer license has been deactivated in Oregon, according to the state license roster updated August 8. The closure is one of eleven license inactivations recorded the same day across the state—including producers, retailers, and cultivators—suggesting sustained churn in Oregon's mature adult-use market.

Official records show The Plant Department, a separate recreational producer entity under the same brand umbrella, remains active with its own license. The distinction suggests the inactive license may represent a consolidation, surrender, or administrative change rather than a full business exit.

Oregon maintains 1,353 open cultivation licenses, 758 retail locations, and 266 manufacturers as of August 8. Watch whether The Plant Department's active license continues operating or whether this marks a broader restructuring within the license holder's operations.
