RTS Consulting, LLC, operating as Greener Pastures, has been deactivated in Montana's cannabis license registry as of September 9, according to the state license roster. The closure is part of a broader deactivation wave affecting at least a dozen operations recorded the same day, including cultivation, retail, and manufacturing licenses held by entities such as Yellowstoned Cannabis Co., Think Higher Caregiving LLC, and Lone Peak Caregivers Inc.

Montana's adult-use market currently maintains 538 open retail licenses, 302 cultivation licenses, and 180 manufacturing facilities across the state, per the latest license census. The timing of these simultaneous deactivations suggests either a scheduled license-renewal cycle, compliance enforcement action, or voluntary exits—details not disclosed in available regulatory records.

The scale of today's closures underscores recurring operator attrition in Montana's maturing cannabis sector. Watch whether state regulators issue a public statement clarifying whether these deactivations reflect license expirations, voluntary surrenders, or enforcement actions, which would signal the regulatory posture going forward.
