SweetGrass MS, LLC's license is no longer active in Mississippi, according to the state license roster updated August 18. The deactivation adds to a notable sequence of operator changes across the state within the past week, with at least five other entities cycling through active and inactive status across cultivation, retail, distribution, and testing roles.

The timing and frequency of these roster updates—multiple status changes per day in some cases—suggest possible compliance lapses, ownership transitions, or administrative processing that warrants closer inspection. Mississippi's medical program currently maintains 188 active retail locations, 107 cultivation licenses, and 41 manufacturing operations, though the underlying stability of individual operators remains unclear from roster activity alone.

Watch whether SweetGrass reappears on the roster or files to reactivate, and whether the current churn rate stabilizes or accelerates further.
