Kannabis Works, a California retailer, has had its license status changed to inactive, according to the state license roster updated September 5. State records show the operator held at least two active retail licenses (C10-0000606-LIC and C10-0001400-LIC), though only one deactivation was reported in this update. The specific reason for the license change is not disclosed in the state roster.

The closure arrives amid broader market churn: California's license system recorded multiple operator exits and entries in the past week, including three other retail-adjacent closures (Bleu Diamond Social Club, BUDS & ROSES COLLECTIVE, and Original Cannabis Cafe), balanced by new licenses issued to operators including STIIIZY Hemet and AYR AG's distribution entry. The state maintains 1,259 active retail licenses overall.

Watch whether Kannabis Works' second retail license remains active or is similarly deactivated in coming roster updates, and whether the operator pursues reinstatement or license transfer.
