Redwater Cannabis Care LLC license deactivated in South Dakota
Medical cannabis operator's state license status changed to inactive alongside a wave of facility closures across South Dakota's medical market.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Redwater Cannabis Care LLC, which operated a medical cannabis cultivation and dispensary license in Belle Fourche, South Dakota, is no longer active according to the state license roster updated August 6. The deactivation appears part of a broader wave: at least 12 South Dakota cannabis facilities lost active status on the same date, including multiple Royzzz locations, Superior Buds, Dakota Dispensaries, and several others.
South Dakota's medical cannabis market currently shows 52 retail locations, 30 cultivation facilities, 14 manufacturing operations, and 1 testing lab with active licenses, per state data. The scale of closures in a single update suggests potential enforcement action, voluntary surrenders, or license expirations, though the state roster provided no detail on cause.
The timing and volume of simultaneous deactivations warrant monitoring: whether additional facilities face similar action, whether the state has issued formal guidance on the closures, and whether the active license count continues to contract in coming weeks.
