Berkley Botanicals LLC's cannabis license is no longer active in Massachusetts, according to the state license roster updated September 15. The deactivation appears part of a broader churn: Solar Therapeutics Inc., Olde World Remedies Inc., Thrive Cultivation & Dispensary LLC, and Ideal Craft Cannabis Inc. also lost active status on the same date.

Massachusetts maintains 546 active retail locations, 160 cultivation operators, and 149 manufacturing licenses as of mid-September, suggesting the five closures represent routine operational turnover in a mature market. The state has crossed $10 billion in cumulative cannabis sales and continues licensing new entrants—four new retail and cultivation licenses were granted the same day the five operators went inactive.

Watch whether the September deactivations signal compliance issues, voluntary exits, or consolidation. No specific reasons for the closures are disclosed in the license roster data.
