Indigenous Budz license no longer active in South Dakota
Medical cannabis operator's license status changed as South Dakota's program reports 12 closures in a single day.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Indigenous Budz, a medical cannabis cultivation and dispensary operator in South Dakota, no longer holds an active license, according to the state license roster updated August 6. The company held permits for both cultivation and dispensary operations under its Lake Andes entity.
The closure is one of 12 license deactivations recorded on the same day, including multi-location operators such as Royzzz and independent dispensaries across the state. The cluster of simultaneous inactive statuses suggests either a regulatory batch update or a shared compliance issue, though specific reasons for individual closures were not disclosed.
South Dakota's medical cannabis program continues operating with 52 active retail locations, 30 cultivation licenses, and 14 manufacturing permits. Watch for any regulatory announcements clarifying whether these closures reflect voluntary exits, enforcement actions, or administrative processing delays.
