AP Cohen Licensing Inc., holder of adult-use processor license OCM-PROC-24-000062 in New York, has had its license deactivated, according to the state license roster. The deactivation was recorded on August 18, 2026.

The closure occurs amid a significant churn in New York's manufacturing sector. The same day saw at least 11 other licensed operators—including Flo Extracts, Route 27 Hopyard, Elite Canna Technologies, and Ahava Farms—lose active status. Simultaneously, Snake Island Genetics was licensed as a new manufacturing operator, suggesting ongoing operator turnover rather than sector contraction.

New York's adult-use market currently maintains 512 active manufacturing licenses alongside 877 retail and 249 cultivation sites. Watch whether the wave of August deactivations signals operational challenges in the processor segment or routine licensee transitions.
