Chromatic LLC's Mississippi Testing License Marked Inactive Amid Roster Churn
State records list Chromatic LLC's testing facility license as no longer active, adding to a string of recent openings and closures across Mississippi's medical cannabis program.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Mississippi's state license roster shows Chromatic LLC's license as no longer active, according to the state license roster. The company held license TESL000161, a Testing Facility license, though the official license record accompanying this report still lists that license's status as "Active," leaving some ambiguity about the timing or finality of the change.
The closure follows a run of similar entries in the state roster over the past week. Recent related coverage includes closures for Magnolia State Agriculture, River City Cannabis, Kudzu Transportation Company, Interstellar Tupelo, Danknolia Cannabis, and Phoenix MS, several of which — notably Kudzu Transportation — appear to have opened and closed multiple times within days, according to the state license roster. Separately, Cannabis Business Times reported that Steep Hill Mississippi and Alchemy Analytics merged to form Southern Precision Analytics, a development in the state's testing-lab sector that predates this closure by roughly a week.
The numbers
Mississippi's medical cannabis market currently shows 190 open retail licenses, 107 cultivation licenses, 41 manufacturing licenses, and just 1 open lab license statewide, per state license stats updated August 16, 2026. No pending applications are recorded, and year-to-date revenue and monthly sales figures were not provided in state data. With only a single lab license currently marked open statewide, Chromatic's reported closure — if confirmed — would suggest testing capacity in Mississippi remains highly concentrated, though the discrepancy between the closure report and the "Active" status in the official record makes it unclear whether this reflects a completed exit or a roster update still in progress.
What to watch next
Given the recent pattern of rapid license churn among cultivation, retail, and distribution operators in Mississippi, it remains to be seen whether Chromatic's testing license reopens under a different registration, as occurred with Kudzu Transportation Company's repeated relisting. The recent lab merger forming Southern Precision Analytics may also be relevant context if Chromatic's testing operations are affected by broader consolidation in the state's limited testing-lab segment, though the provided context does not directly link the two entities.
