Lunar Consulting's license has been marked inactive on Montana's cannabis license roster as of September 9, according to state records. The Columbia Falls–based operator held active licenses across three license types—dispensary, cultivator, and manufacturer—until the deactivation. Official state records show the company maintained concurrent operations across retail, cultivation, and manufacturing.

The deactivation occurred amid a broader wave of license inactivations logged the same day. At least 11 other licensees, including multi-license holders like Yellowstoned Cannabis Co., Think Higher Caregiving LLC, and Lone Peak Caregivers Inc., also had licenses marked inactive. The simultaneous bulk update suggests possible compliance or administrative action, though no stated reason is provided in the available data.

Montana's market remains active with 538 retail locations, 302 cultivators, and 180 manufacturers currently licensed. Watch for any state enforcement announcements or public notices that may clarify the reason for the coordinated deactivations and whether additional licenses face similar action.
