Mac's From the Hills, a medical cannabis cultivator and dispensary based in Big Stone City, South Dakota, has had its license deactivated, according to the state license roster updated August 6. State records indicate the operator previously held both a medical cannabis cultivation license and a medical cannabis dispensary license.

The closure is part of a broader licensing shift in South Dakota's medical cannabis market. On the same date, at least 11 other facilities—including multiple Royzzz locations, Dakota Health and Wellness, and Superior Buds—were removed from the active roster. South Dakota currently maintains 52 open retail locations, 30 cultivation operations, 14 manufacturing facilities, and 1 testing lab.

The reason for Mac's From the Hills' license inactivation is not disclosed in available records. Operators to watch: whether other South Dakota medical cannabis licensees report similar status changes or if the state issues guidance on the cause of these August 6 deactivations.
