Furthermore, to assist with CDC recommendations, measures have been taken to ensure the health and well-being of employees and patients, including modifying the store layout, installation of plexiglass partitions and HEPA air filtration scrubbers in the dispensaries, increasing access to masks and sanitizer throughout the store for staff and visitors, using visual aids to direct traffic throughout the store and increasing the frequency of deep cleanings for all dispensaries.

In stores and online, patients will find Florida's largest selection of THC and CBD products, available in a variety of delivery methods, including smokable cannabis, concentrates, tinctures, topical creams and vaporizers.

The Office of Medical Marijuana Use recently announced the registry was quickly approaching 375,000 registered medical marijuana patients with an active ID card, with Trulieve consistently selling approximately half of the state's overall volume, according to the Florida Department of Health. There are nearly 2,500 registered ordering physicians in the state of Florida as well.

Trulieve is the first and largest fully licensed medical cannabis company in the state of Florida. The company cultivates and produces all of its products in-house and distributes those products to Trulieve-branded stores.
