River City Cannabis has received a new retail license in Mississippi, according to the state license roster. The company holds dispensary license DSPY025230 and is now listed as active. This marks a reinstatement for the operator—records show River City Cannabis's license was inactive as of August 12 before being reactivated August 13.

The reopening occurs amid broader flux in Mississippi's medical cannabis market. State records indicate at least five other operators cycled through closures and new licenses during the same two-day window, including Kudzu Transportation Company (which appeared licensed, then inactive, then licensed again across three separate entries) and Magnolia State Agriculture (which shut down a prior operation but opened a new cultivation license). Interstellar Tupelo, Danknolia, and Phoenix MS also went inactive in early August.

Mississippi now reports 190 active retail locations, 107 cultivation operations, 41 manufacturers, and 2 testing labs. The volume of rapid license changes suggests either backend record updates or operational turnover. Monitor whether River City Cannabis and other recently reactivated operators remain stable or whether the pattern continues.
