Three things happened in Florida medical cannabis this month. The state approved 22 new companies. Three new shops opened. And the website you use to renew your card now asks for an extra step when you log in. Here is what each one means for you.
The short version
- 22 new companies were approved on Sept 11. None of them can sell to you yet.
- Three new shops opened, taking Florida to 781.
- The state’s Registry website needs an extra login step from Sept 28.
- Trulieve sells the most overall. GTI Florida’s shops are the busiest.
- Insa is our dispensary of the month, with a USD 50 gift card for newly certified patients.
22 new companies approved. None can sell yet.
On September 11, 2026, the Florida Department of Health approved 22 new cannabis companies. The state calls them Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers. They are the only businesses allowed to grow and sell medical cannabis in Florida.
It took three and a half years. The application window opened in April 2023 and drew 74 applicants for the 22 spots. Decision letters went out in November 2024, then more than a year of legal challenges followed before this month’s final approval.
Florida makes each company do the whole job itself: grow the plants, process them, and run its own shops. It cannot buy from anyone else. So all 22 have to build every piece of that before they can serve one patient. Expect them to open slowly, over several months to more than a year.
What this means for you: nothing today. Over the next year or two you should see more brands on the shelf, more shops within driving distance, and more competition on price and service.
Three new shops you can visit now
While those 22 build, three brand-new shops opened this month at companies that were already running. From the state’s weekly reports:
- Curaleaf Florida, RiverviewWeek of Aug 28 to Sep 3
- Curaleaf Florida, Port RicheyWeek of Sep 11 to 17
- GTI Florida, Cape CoralWeek of Sep 11 to 17
That takes Florida to 781 shops as of late September.
Heads up: one extra step when you log in
From September 28, 2026, the state’s Registry website asks for a second step when you sign in: a code from an app on your phone, or one sent to your email.
Nothing changes about how you qualify or how you renew. Just give yourself a couple of extra minutes next time you log in.
Who sells the most, and whose shops are busiest
Every week the state publishes how much cannabis each company handed to patients. We added up the four weeks of September.
Trulieve sells the most, by a mile. More than a quarter of all the cannabis handed out in Florida this month came from its shops.
But selling the most and being the busiest are not the same thing. Trulieve has 170 shops. A company with 15 shops can be busier at every one of them and still sell far less in total.
The four views below show both. The two per store views are the ones that tell you how busy the average shop is.
- Total volumeWho sold the most, every shop added together
- StoresHow many shops each company has open
- THC per storeWhat the average shop moved
- Flower per storeThe same, but smokable flower only

The Stores view is the one that ties it together. The bar is how many shops the company has. The small number underneath is how much the average shop moved.
A long bar with a small number is a big chain of quieter shops. A short bar with a big number is a small chain whose few shops are working hard.
Trulieve sold 5.1 times as much as GTI Florida, but it did so from 6.8 times as many shops. Shop for shop, GTI Florida and Sunburn are well ahead of it.
The average Florida shop moved about 2.18M mg of THC over the four weeks. Against that average:
- GTI Florida1.60x the state average
- Sunburn1.59x
- Trulieve1.18x
- Curaleaf1.13x
- MÜV1.10x
In plain terms: the big chains are on top because they have more shops, not because each shop is unusually busy.
These figures are how much product moved, measured in milligrams of THC. They are not sales or revenue. The state does not publish prices.
Smokable flower changes the order again. Jungle Boys and Trulieve move the most flower per shop.
Not every company sells the same mix. Some lean toward flower, others toward vapes, edibles and concentrates. Comparing where a company lands on each list shows which kind it is.
FLUENT leans furthest away from flower: 5th place on THC, but 15th on flower. GTI Florida and Goldflower lean the same way. If you shop mainly for flower, that is worth knowing before you drive.
The month in three numbers
Across the whole state, very little moved this month, even as the companies shuffled underneath.
Weekly statewide
Open locations
Patient registry
Dispensary of the month: Insa
Cannabis for real life
This month we are spotlighting Insa, a Florida company with nine shops around the state, founded in 2013 by lifelong friends Pete and Pat.
Their philosophy is refreshingly down-to-earth: cannabis for “the good days and the ‘bout to get better.” The menu covers flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, concentrates, tinctures and topicals.
