Ortiz Cannabis LLC's cultivation license (no. 403R-01306) has been removed from active status in Colorado, according to the state license roster updated August 4. The company held a standard cultivation permit in the adult-use market.

The deactivation was one of at least 12 Colorado cannabis licenses flagged as inactive on the same date, spanning retail, cultivation, and distribution operations. The roster update did not specify reasons for the closures, which is typical in state licensing announcements.

Colorado's active cultivation base stood at 622 licenses as of the roster update. The cluster of simultaneous deactivations warrants monitoring for broader market signals—operators should track whether these reflect seasonal churn, enforcement actions, or economic pressure on smaller permit holders.
