According to New Jersey's state license roster, GW Leaf Dispensary's recreational cannabis retail license is no longer active as of July 31. The closure comes amid broader churn in the state's retail market: five other dispensaries—including two Sweetspot locations and The Dispensary of Saddle Brook—also lost active status on the same date.

The timing suggests license transitions rather than sudden market contraction. The state roster simultaneously recorded six new retail approvals, including a new Sweetspot Dispensary Hamilton location and Nirvana Dispensary Saddle Brook, indicating operators may be shifting licenses or locations. New Jersey's active retail count remains at 197 as of July 31.

Watch whether GW Leaf or its parent entity reapplies for licensure elsewhere in the state, and whether the five closures reflect operational exits or administrative relocations tied to the new approvals.
