The Green Nugget has changed its licensee name to Alkaloid Cannabis Co, according to Washington state's license roster updated August 12. The rebranding occurs on the same day the state reported closures of at least a dozen other cannabis licenses, including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Fillabong, Evolve Cannabis, and multiple holding companies.

The cluster of simultaneous closures—combined with The Green Nugget's name change—suggests possible consolidation activity or compliance-related transitions within Washington's market. Washington maintains 482 active retail locations and over 1,980 cultivation and manufacturing licenses as of the latest roster update.

Next to watch: whether Alkaloid Cannabis Co maintains The Green Nugget's existing retail or production footprint, or if the rebrand signals a shift in operational structure or ownership.
