Omnium Health Inc.'s adult-use distributor license (OCM-DIST-24-000043) is no longer active in New York, according to the state license roster. The deactivation follows a wave of closures on the same date: at least 11 other operators—including cultivators, processors, and a distributor—also lost active status.

New York's license roster shows 512 active manufacturing operators, 249 cultivators, and 877 retail locations as of mid-August. The concurrent closures and a slate of simultaneous ownership renamings (Homestead Hemp, Noble Steed Farms, Flowerhouse Walden) suggest routine portfolio adjustments alongside genuine exits. Snake Island Genetics entered as a new manufacturing licensee the day these deactivations were recorded.

Watch whether distributor closures accelerate in the coming months. With 404 pending applications still in queue, the regulatory picture remains unsettled—and distributor churn may signal tightening margins or compliance friction at that tier of the supply chain.
