Long Beach Dispensary LLC has received an active retail license in Mississippi, according to the state license roster. The dispensary license (DSPY010924) was issued on September 18, joining Mississippi's 188 open retail locations.

The approval arrives as part of a substantial licensing surge: the same day saw issuance of eight new cultivation licenses, one distribution operator, one manufacturing license, and two additional dispensaries (XPRESS DISPENSARY LLC and Dabbs Cannabis Dispensary LLC). Meanwhile, one existing dispensary—Cultivated Wellness Dispensary NO.2—lost its active status.

Mississippi's medical cannabis framework now includes 113 active cultivation operators, 42 manufacturers, and 2 testing labs. The pace of new licensing suggests continued buildout of the supply chain; watch whether retail growth continues to outpace cultivation capacity or if supply constraints emerge.
