Glass Meadows' dual licenses—one for cultivation and one for manufacturing—are no longer active in New Jersey as of August 18, according to the state license roster. The company operated in Lafayette and held both licenses in active status until the deactivation.

The closure adds to a pattern of turnover in New Jersey's supply chain. Since late July, the state has recorded at least three license deactivations (Phasal on August 7 and GW Leaf Dispensary on July 31) alongside several new retail approvals, including Collective Beleaf and Indoor Treez. The state currently maintains 93 active cultivation licenses and 94 manufacturing licenses across its adult-use market.

Watch whether Glass Meadows' exit reflects broader consolidation pressure on mid-tier cultivators and manufacturers, or signals operational challenges specific to the Lafayette operation. Supply-chain exits merit monitoring given New Jersey's 374 active retail locations and ongoing enforcement against unlicensed operators.
