Solar Therapeutics Inc., a Massachusetts marijuana retailer, is no longer active according to state license records, marking the latest deactivation in a single-day update that also saw Olde World Remedies, berkley botanicals, Thrive Cultivation & Dispensary, and Ideal Craft Cannabis lose active status. The state's license roster shows at least five entities exiting active operation on September 15, suggesting a period of consolidation or compliance failure across the portfolio.

The closures arrive alongside new market entries: M1 Enterprises received cultivation licensure, Route 133 Cannabis and Zenith United LLC secured retail licenses, and Aunty Budz LLC launched as a microbusiness operator. Massachusetts currently maintains 546 open retail locations and 160 cultivation operations across an adult-use market that surpassed $10 billion in cumulative sales as of early September.

Watch whether Solar Therapeutics or the other deactivated operators reapply or whether their licenses are formally revoked—a distinction that affects their ability to re-enter the market.
