Green Trap has received an active Tier 2 cultivation license (ACB1002) in Maine, according to state license records. The approval arrives as part of a broader expansion day: the state also licensed a retail operator, KOZ WE CAN LLC, and three manufacturing entities—Auraz Lab, Landrace Hash Co., and Cannanectar Canning Co.—on August 11.

Maine's cultivation base now stands at 82 active operators, with 194 retail locations and 89 manufacturers also licensed. The state had 73 pending applications as of the update date. Recent months have seen monthly sales in the $19–40 million range, though aggregate figures remain limited.

The licensing wave signals continued buildout of the supply chain, though reported security incidents at grow facilities and alleged labeling gaps suggest regulators face operational oversight challenges alongside expansion.
