“As of today, we have launched adult-use sales at all eight of our RISE dispensaries in Minnesota, allowing us to bring the well-being of cannabis and the RISE experience to more adults in the North Star State.

Each month we share BDSA data and Florida is one of the markets where they provide monthly sales estimates. Florida does a fantastic job of sharing weekly data on unit volumes, but it doesn’t provide revenue data.
The BDSA estimates Florida hemp sales totaled $126.1 million in February, down 0.4% from a year ago. January sales fell 4.1% from a year earlier, and 2025 sales are expected to rise just 2.9% after rising 20.9% in 2024.
Florida provides a wealth of data that allows for a good understanding of state trends. First, they provide the number of patients, which, according to 2/27 report was 933 thousand. Growth has slowed down.
During the last year, the growth was 3.4%, and in the last three months it increased by only 0.4%. Patient growth is projected to be 3.9% in 2025 and 3.3% in 2024, following an 11% increase in 2023. The medical cannabis industry is maturing in the state, and the current number of patients is almost 4% of the total population.
Florida shares the total number of stores (742 currently), which is up 4.7% year-over-year. Ahead of the election in 2024, which could legalize cannabis for adult use, there was a big increase, with the number of shops increasing by 14%. The growth of stores has led to more competition.
The state splits the volumes, and the two largest parts are “medical marijuana” in mg for THC products and “marijuana for smoking” in ounces. Sales of medical cannabis products rose 12.6% last week, while smoking cannabis grew 11.4%. This growth was much higher than the revenue growth projected by the BDSA, suggesting that pricing is under pressure.
Florida also breaks down unit sales by licensed operator and shares how many distribution locations each operates. This data shows how concentrated the state is, as 51.2% of the state’s vertically integrated dispensaries are owned by just four companies, including Trulieve, Verano (MÜV), Curaleaf, and Ayr Wellness (which bought Liberty Health). These four companies sold 56% of medical cannabis and 61% of smokable cannabis last week. Interestingly, Trulieve, which has nearly twice as many stores as runner-up Verano, saw its medical cannabis volumes decline from a year ago.
When voters failed to approve adult-use cannabis in 2024, falling short of the required 60% affirmative vote, these major Florida operators saw their stocks decimated. It’s been the hardest for Ayr Wellness, but they’ve all come down a lot.
It’s not yet known if Florida voters will vote again this year, but things could improve if adult legalization is implemented. Also, the federal ban on THC from hemp could increase demand later this year when it is implemented. With that said, Florida’s medical cannabis market appears to be struggling. Trulieve is very large in the state and has significant influence with it compared to other states. Analysts forecast Trulieve’s 2026 revenue to decline 1% after falling less than 1% in 2025. More importantly, they forecast adjusted EBITDA to decline 6% in 2026.
