No California licence is held under the name "AVD".
All 15,376 trading names in the California commercial cannabis register — every legal name and every DBA — were searched for this name. California licenses businesses rather than brand names, so a brand can trade under a parent entity the register knows by another name. This is the absence of a record under this name, and nothing more.
Every state licence list monitored by Traceleaf was searched for this name and for AVD Holdings LLC on 11 October 2026. Absence from a list is an absence of a record, not a finding about legality.

Sightings by state and seller type
Where this brand has been seen for sale: 9 states down the side, 4 kinds of outlet across the top.
What kind of shop stocks this brand, and where. The split between licensed dispensaries and smoke shops or online stores is the whole point — it says which distribution system the brand actually moves through.
Each mark: one cell: one state crossed with one type of outlet, shaded by how many distinct sellers of that type in that state have been observed listing the brand.
How to read: Rows and columns are both sorted by their own totals, so the busiest state and the busiest kind of outlet meet in the top-left corner and the grid reads as a ranking rather than a scatter. One blue ramp, light to dark: darker means more sellers. A pale grey cell means no observation for that combination — an absence of a sighting, not evidence of an absence of sales.
Seen at 24 sellers in total across 9 states, of which 24 hold no licence in the state list and 6 carry an enforcement record. A sighting is one seller observed listing the brand, not a sale.

Dated records for this brand
3 dated records on one axis, oldest on the left.
The order in which this brand appeared in the public record: when a domain was registered, when it was first seen on a shelf, when it was last seen. Sequence is often the whole story — a domain registered after the product was already selling says something a date on its own does not.
Each mark: one dated record. Its position on the line is when it was observed; labels alternate above and below the line only to stop them colliding.
How to read: The axis is time, scaled between the oldest and newest record held — so a wide gap is a long quiet stretch, not missing data. A date is the first or last time a record was observed, not the date the thing itself happened.
Undated records are deliberately left off rather than guessed at a position, which is why the enforcement notices below do not appear on the ribbon.

6 sellers observed carrying this brand also carry an enforcement record (fined, raided, padlocked). The enforcement notices do not carry a published date, so they are not placed on the ribbon.
