Super Chronic Club has undergone a licensee name change to Forbidden Cannabis Super Chronic, according to Washington state's license roster. The rebranding appears to reflect an ownership or corporate restructuring of the retail operation.

The name change coincides with a wave of license closures across Washington state dated August 12, 2026—including retail outlets (The Green Shelf, Stickys, Evolve Cannabis), holding companies (DTC Holdings, JPC Holdings, Point Edmund Retail Holdings LLC), and cultivation or manufacturing entities. While these closures span multiple operators, they suggest broader churn in the state's retail and ancillary market.

Washington maintains 482 active retail locations and over 1,900 combined cultivation and manufacturing licenses as of August 12. Watch whether the Forbidden Cannabis rebrand signals consolidation, new capital backing, or operational changes at the former Super Chronic Club location.
