Genesis Farms, LLC's license has been deactivated in South Dakota, according to the state license roster. The closure comes as part of a broader wave: at least 12 licenses—including multiple Royzzz locations, Dakota Dispensaries, and The Broken Boot Dispensary—all transitioned to inactive status on the same date, suggesting a coordinated license renewal cycle or enforcement action.

South Dakota operates a medical-only cannabis market currently home to 52 retail, 30 cultivation, 14 manufacturing, and 1 lab license. The simultaneous deactivation of multiple operators raises questions about licensing deadlines or compliance issues, though the state roster provides no stated reason for the closures. Whether these represent temporary lapses or permanent exits remains unclear.

Watch for regulatory updates clarifying the cause of the August 6 deactivations and whether any of the inactive licenses are reactivated or formally surrendered in coming weeks.
