Sweet Rhapsody LLC, operating as Skunk Hollow Cannabis, has had its license deactivated according to Vermont's state license roster. The closure marks one of at least 13 operator exits logged across the state in the past week, including The Bud Stop, Lavishly Sweet, Happy Farm Cannabis Company, Spruce Mountain Cannabis, and others.

Vermont's adult-use market currently maintains 104 open retail locations, 276 cultivation sites, 85 manufacturing licenses, and 2 testing labs. Recent monthly sales data shows the state has stabilized in the $13 million annual run rate, with June 2026 sales at $13.1 million. The cluster of near-simultaneous license deactivations suggests possible compliance lapses or voluntary exits during a normalization phase.

Watch whether Vermont's regulator issues guidance on the wave of closures and whether the 104-retailer base holds steady or continues contracting in coming weeks.
