Enlighten LLC's license status shifted to inactive as of Oct. 6, according to Montana's state license roster. The company operated cultivator licenses at two locations—Billings and Ashland—both of which remain listed as active in official records, creating a potential reconciliation lag between license status and location-level tracking.

The closure appears amid a broader wave of operator exits: at least a dozen Montana cannabis licenses were marked inactive in the same roster update, including dispensaries, cultivators, and manufacturers. Montana's adult-use market currently lists 535 open retail locations, 296 cultivation sites, and 181 manufacturing operations.

Watch whether Enlighten's cultivation location licenses update to reflect the parent company deactivation, and whether the state's licensing dashboard reconciles the discrepancy between entity status and location-level records.
