Elevated Missoula Brooks license deactivated in Montana
Missoula dispensary joins dozen other Montana cannabis retailers losing active status on October 6.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Elevated (Elevated Missoula Brooks) has lost its active license status in Montana, according to the state license roster. The deactivation is part of a notably large single-day batch of license removals: at least 12 retail and cultivation operations across the state went inactive on October 6, ranging from dispensaries like Three Rivers Cannabis and Mary Jane's 406 Big Sky Boutique to cultivation entities.
Montana's adult-use market currently maintains 535 open retail licenses, 296 cultivation licenses, and 181 manufacturing licenses as of the roster update. Recent monthly sales data show the market generated roughly $28.9 million in August 2026 and $29.7 million in July. The cluster closure—captured in state records simultaneously—suggests either a licensing cycle audit, regulatory enforcement action, or administrative processing event, though specifics are not detailed in the roster.
Watch whether additional license status changes follow in coming weeks, and whether state regulators publish guidance on the cause of the October 6 deactivations. Retail license churn at this scale may signal compliance issues or market consolidation worth monitoring in Montana's still-developing adult-use framework.
