For the week ending August 7th, the number of qualified patients in Florida’s medical marijuana program grew 1.8% WoW or 30% YTD.
The WoW increase to 389,235 qualified patients at 1.8% was the greatest sequential increase in the last 12-months.
THC in mgs sold fell -1.6% WoW to 132.3 million mgs, CBD in mgs sold fell -0.2% WoW to 3.87 million mgs, flower in oz. sold grew 2.0% WoW to 41,197 oz. sold.
Trulieve (TCNNF) continues its market dominance with a 51% share of mgs THC sold, 32% share of mgs CBD sold, and 51% of flower in oz. sold, while holding only ~20% of market share in units, on a 4-week moving average basis.
Florida’s medical marijuana marketplace is still in early stages with strong potential – the state’s medical marijuana program has yet to reach 2% of the population, smokable flower was just introduced to the market last year, and there’s a broad range of qualifying medical conditions, notably ‘severe and chronic pain’.
The rising tide that is patient volume growth lifts all ships.
