Cultivated Wellness Dispensary NO.2's license (DSPY012337) is no longer active, according to Mississippi's state license roster updated September 18. The deactivation appears to reflect typical market churn in the state's medical program, which currently operates 188 open retail locations.

The closure coincides with a substantial licensing wave: Mississippi issued at least 12 new operator licenses on the same date, including eight cultivation licenses, two retail permits, one distribution license, and one manufacturing license. The pace of new issuances suggests continued growth in the state's supply chain, even as individual operators exit.

Mississippi's medical market remains active with 113 cultivation, 42 manufacturing, and 2 lab licenses currently open. Watch whether the wave of new cultivation operators—including KBJRJ, 1620 Holdings LLC, and Budwiser LLC—signals market expansion or reflects licensing churn as existing operators upgrade or restructure.
