Genesis Farms, LLC's license is no longer active in South Dakota, according to the state license roster updated August 6. The deactivation is part of a broader wave: at least 11 other operators—including multiple Royzzz locations, Dakota Health and Wellness, Northern Hills Alternative Health, and Superior Buds—lost active status on the same date.

South Dakota's medical cannabis program currently maintains 52 open retail licenses, 30 cultivation licenses, 14 manufacturing licenses, and 1 lab license. The simultaneous deactivation of so many operators suggests either a regulatory enforcement action, batch license renewals, or compliance lapses, though the state roster provides no detail on closure cause.

The timing and scale of these losses warrants monitoring of official South Dakota cannabis regulator communications to determine whether structural or individual operator issues drove the deactivations.
