Florida medical patient growth sets all-time low

Each week, Florida’s Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU), which is part of the state’s Department of Health, releases data on the state’s medical cannabis program, including an active patient count, a qualified physician count, new approvals and an update for each dispensary.

That data includes the number of dispensaries and the unit sales each week. This is the fourth New Cannabis Ventures article in what we expect will provide updates every month. We also published a newsletter about the state in May, suggesting that readers be careful with Florida. This article is based upon the update that was provided Friday as of 06/06. Readers who are interested in the data going forward can visit the OMMU update page.

Patient Growth Is Slowing

We last updated on the Florida market two weeks ago, and the annual growth in patient count had fallen to 7.2% in late May from 8.4% in mid-April. The rate is now at a record low of 6.8%.
