Grass Queen, Inc.'s license is no longer active in Vermont as of September 14, according to the state license roster. The closure is part of a broader wave: at least 10 other Vermont cannabis businesses have had licenses inactivated since September 10, including Giving Tree Farm (DBA Blezz), Midnight Farm, Satori VT LLC, Green Mountain Gardens, Monty Vermont LLC, Truth and Company LLC, RockLake, Mend Botanical LLC, and Blue Sky Farm LLC.

Vermont's adult-use market remains modest in scale, with 101 open retail locations, 261 cultivation sites, and 80 manufacturing licenses as of mid-September. July 2026 sales reached approximately $14.7 million, suggesting a maturing but still-developing market. The precise reasons for individual closures—whether operational, compliance-related, or voluntary—are not specified in state records.

The cluster of inactivations coincides with heightened regulatory attention: Vermont's Lt. Governor faces compliance action over an unlicensed grow site, and emergency rooms have reported rising cannabis-related vomiting cases. Watch whether the state provides guidance on whether these closures reflect enforcement action or market consolidation.
