King of ReLeaf's license status shifted to inactive according to South Dakota's state license roster published Aug. 6, according to the state's official records. The update comes as part of a larger batch of license deactivations logged the same day—at least 12 operators across the state had licenses marked no longer active, including multiple Royzzz entities, Northern Hills Alternative Health, and Dakota Dispensaries.

Official records show King of ReLeaf holds multiple active medical cannabis licenses in South Dakota, including cultivation and dispensary permits under different entity names. The discrepancy between inactive roster status and active license records suggests a potential data reconciliation lag or administrative status separate from operational licensing.

South Dakota's medical cannabis market currently lists 52 active retail locations, 30 cultivation sites, and 14 manufacturing operations. The pattern of simultaneous deactivations warrants monitoring to determine whether these reflect voluntary closures, compliance issues, or administrative cleanup of the state's license database.
