The Back House license no longer active in California
State license roster shows manufacturer license inactive; distributor license status unclear in latest records.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0The Back House, a manufacturer operating under California Department of Cannabis Control license DCC-10003796, has become inactive according to the state license roster updated August 9. The company also held a commercial distributor license (C11-0000071-LIC), whose current status is not reflected in the latest roster snapshot.
The closure comes amid a broader wave of license deactivations in California. Since August 6, at least six other licensees—including Flow Kana, GC CA Ventures, and Cal Track Distributions—have exited the state market, according to state records. Concurrently, enforcement actions have intensified, with over 6,000 cannabis plants eradicated at a suspended Willow Creek grow operation on August 8.
The pattern suggests ongoing pressure on California operators, though the specific reason for The Back House's deactivation remains unknown. Watch for whether the distributor license follows the manufacturer into inactive status, or if supply-chain disruption from closures of multiple licensees affects inventory tracking systems now under court-ordered overhaul.
