Genesis Farms license deactivated amid wave of South Dakota cannabis closures
State license roster shows Genesis Farms license no longer active; at least 12 other operators shut down on same day.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Genesis Farms' license status has shifted to inactive on South Dakota's medical cannabis roster as of August 6, according to state records. The closure appears part of a broader delisting event: at least 12 other cannabis operators—including multiple Royzzz locations, Dakota Health and Wellness, and Superior Buds—were simultaneously removed from the active roster.
Official license records still list five Genesis Farms medical cultivation licenses across the state (Aberdeen, Brookings, Huron, Mitchell, and Pierre) with active status, creating a discrepancy with the headline deactivation notice. The data gap suggests either a lag in record synchronization or a selective license suspension affecting a subset of the operator's portfolio.
South Dakota maintains 52 open retail, 30 active cultivation, and 14 manufacturing licenses in its medical program. The scale of August 6 removals warrants monitoring whether regulatory compliance issues, voluntary closures, or administrative actions triggered the simultaneous deactivations.
