Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]  
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Assets held for sale consist of those classified as discontinued operations and those that do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations under ASC 205. See “Note 19 – Discontinued Operations" for further information.

In June 2022, the Company closed Blüm San Leandro and began actively marketing the retail location for sale, which is expected to close within the next year. The assets were classified as held for sale as of the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 but did not meet the criteria for discontinued operation under ASC Subtopic 205-20. In December 2022, a change to the plan of sale occurred and the Company reopened Blüm San Leandro. Accordingly, the assets were reclassified as held and used as of December 31, 2022.

On June 18, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and transferred 100% of the membership interests in the People's dispensary in Los Angeles, CA wherein all operational control and risk of loss was transferred to the original licenseholder and the Company had no further obligations. As consideration received, a promissory note of $1.40 million with the buyer was forgiven. The Company recognized a loss upon sale of assets of $0.38 million for the difference between the aggregate consideration and the book value of the assets as of the disposition date which is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2022. As of June 18 2022, all assets and liabilities related to the dispensary were deconsolidated from the consolidated balance sheet. All profits or losses subsequent to June 18, 2022 are excluded from the consolidated statements of operations.
During the fiscal third quarter of 2022, the Company terminated its third-party distribution operations in California and its retail and delivery operations at SilverStreak. In November 2022, the Company received confirmation for the legal dissolution of SilverStreak and the entities related to its distribution operations in the state of California. As a result, all liabilities and existing obligations of the dissolved entities were extinguished. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain on disposal of assets of $12.69 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 related to the dissolution of entities. See "Note 9 – Goodwill" for additional information.DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
NuLeaf
On November 17, 2021, Medifarm III, LLC (“Medifarm III”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with NuLeaf, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“NuLeaf”) wherein Medifarm III agreed to sell its fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding membership interests of each of NuLeaf Reno Production, LLC (“NuLeaf Reno”) and NuLeaf Sparks Cultivation, LLC (“NuLeaf Sparks”) to NuLeaf, which owned the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the membership interests of NuLeaf Reno and NuLeaf Sparks, for aggregate consideration of $6.50 million in cash. The transaction closed in April 2022 and the Company recognized a gain of $2.05 million for the difference between the aggregate consideration and the book value of the assets as of the disposition date, less direct costs to sell, for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Nevada Dispensaries
During fiscal year 2019 and 2020, the Company entered into Asset Purchase Agreements with unrelated third parties to sell substantially all of the assets of the Company related to the Company's dispensaries located at:

1130 E. Desert Inn Road, Las Vegas, NV 89109;
1085 S. Virginia St., Suite A, Reno, NV 89502; and
3650 S. Decatur Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89103.

The dispensaries are collectively referred to as the "Nevada dispensaries". The transactions for the sale of the Nevada dispensaries closed upon receiving all required government approvals during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021. The Company recognized an aggregate gain of $12.83 million upon sale of the Nevada dispensaries, equal to the difference between the consideration paid and the book value of the assets as of the disposition date, less direct costs to sell, and reflected such gain in income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Oregon Operations

On December 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to which the Company sold all of its equity interests in LTRMN, Inc., which conducts cannabis distribution and wholesale activities in Oregon, for an aggregate purchase price of $0.25 million. The purchase price was paid in the form of a secured promissory note at a rate of 8.0% per annum due and payable on the third anniversary of the date of issuance. However, upon a final and binding settlement of certain ongoing litigation that is approved by UMBRLA, the purchase price shall be automatically revised to be $0 and the promissory note shall be deemed paid and satisfied in-full.

On December 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to which the Company sold its 50% equity interests in Psychonaut Oregon, LLC (“Psychonaut”) to Joseph Gerlach for an aggregate purchase price of $1. Mr. Gerlach owns the other 50% of the equity interests in Psychonaut and is also the Company’s Chief Cultivation Officer. In connection with the sale of Psychonaut, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note dated December 28, 2022 (the “Psychonaut Note”) pursuant to which the Company consolidated all current liabilities due to Mr. Gerlach totaling $0.15 million. The Psychonaut Note accrues interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum and is due and payable on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance.

The Company concluded that the sale of LTRMN, Inc. and Psychonaut Oregon, LLC (together, the "Oregon operations") represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and thus all assets and liabilities allocable to the operations within the state of Oregon were classified as discontinued operations. The assets associated with the Oregon operations were measured at the lower of their carrying amount or FVLCTS. Revenue and expenses, gains or losses relating to the discontinuation of Oregon operations were eliminated from profit or loss from the Company’s continuing operations and are shown as a single line item in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

The Company recognized a loss upon sale of the Oregon operations of $0.50 million for the net carrying value of the assets as of the disposition date which was determined as the book value less direct costs to sell and is recognized as a component of loss on disposal of assets and other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for Discontinued Operations during the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Oregon operations have been fully deconsolidated by the Company and the Company does not have any continuing involvement with the former subsidiary outside of the Magee litigation disclosed in “Note 23 – Commitments and Contingencies”.
Real Estate
As of December 31, 2020, the Company classified real property in Las Vegas, NV as available-for-sale, as it met the criteria of ASC 360-10-45-9. On August 9, 2021, the Company sold the property for $2.60 million in cash to 117 Real Estate Holdings LLC. A loss on the sale of the asset of $0.10 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022 and is presented within net income from discontinued operations.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company classified real property in Santa Ana, CA as available-for-sale, as it met the criteria of ASC 360-10-45-9. On August 10, 2021, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with two individuals, pursuant to which the Company sold all of the share of common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, 1815 Carnegie Santa Ana, Corp. (“1815 Carnegie”) to those individuals for aggregate consideration of $1.70 million. 1815 Carnegie holds a permit to operate a cannabis dispensary in the City of Santa Ana, CA. On August 12, 2021, the Company also entered into a Supply agreement with an affiliate of purchasers to obtain a right of first refusal to purchase cannabis bulk and distillate to be integrated into the Company cannabis goods and products, as well as a Retail Space Agreement with 1815 Carnegie, pursuant to which the Company will receive guaranteed placement of 15 SKUs at the cannabis dispensary. Each agreement has a term of three years. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of the asset of $1.70 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, which is presented within net income from discontinued operations.
On December 7, 2021, 620 Dyer LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Standard Offer, Agreement and Escrow Instructions for Purchase of Real Estate (the “PSA”) with FRO III/SMA Acquisitions, LLC (the “Buyer”) to sell the real property located at 620 East Dyer Road, Santa Ana, CA (the “Dyer Property”) for $13.40 million in cash. The real estate asset was classified as available-for-sale as of December 31, 2021. On February 10, 2022, the Company announced the closing of the sale of the Dyer Property, resulting in the Company retiring $9.00 million of outstanding debt on the Dyer Property as disclosed in "Note 13 – Notes Payable". The Company is continuing to evaluate its options with respect to the license originally connected to the Dyer Property, including consideration of the retail density in the area. If the city of Santa Ana grants approval to relocate licenses elsewhere in the city, the Company may consider using the dispensary license to open a dispensary in an underserved part of Santa Ana.

OneQor
During fiscal year 2020, management suspended the operations of OneQor Technologies due to (i) a lack of proper growth in customer acquisition and revenue for this CBD operation during the COVID-19 pandemic and (ii) the overall financial health of the Company as a result of COVID-19 and social unrest. The Company plans to focus its attention and resources on growing its THC business.
In November 2022, the Company received confirmation for the legal dissolution of OneQor. Accordingly, all liabilities and existing obligations related to OneQor were extinguished, resulting in a gain on disposal of assets of $0.53 million.
Edible Garden
On March 30, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Edible Garden AG Inc. (“Edible Garden AG”) pursuant to which the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Edible Garden Corp. The consideration received included (i) a five-year $3.00 million secured promissory note bearing interest at 3.5% per annum and (ii) two option agreements to purchase up to a 20% interest in Edible Garden AG. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company exercised both options and acquired 5,000,000 common shares of Edible Garden AG for a nominal fee. See “Note 6 – Investments” for further information.
The completed sales of the NuLeaf operations, Oregon operations, Nevada dispensaries, real estate assets, and assets divested during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. As a result, management determined the results of these components qualified for discontinued operations presentation in accordance with ASC 205, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and
