Cultivated Wellness Dispensary NO.3 has received a new retail license in Mississippi, according to the state license roster. The license (DSPY010624) is listed as active. The approval comes as part of a broader licensing round that saw multiple operators approved across the supply chain on the same date.

The new dispensary approval occurs alongside the closure of Cultivated Wellness Dispensary NO.2, suggesting a consolidation or rebranding within the operator's footprint. Mississippi's medical cannabis retail network now stands at 188 open dispensaries, up from prior counts, reflecting continued expansion of patient access points.

Watch whether Cultivated Wellness NO.3 begins operations and how quickly the closed NO.2 location transitions. The simultaneous licensing of nine cultivation operators, one distributor, and one manufacturer on the same date suggests Mississippi's regulators are executing a coordinated batch approval—a pattern worth tracking for future application timelines.
