TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -- A Tallahassee medical marijuana dispensary is the first in the state of Florida to receive authorization from the Florida Department of Health.
Trulieve dispensary says it will open next week and begin sales, becoming the first dispensary in the state of Florida to open its doors.
The company has a press conference scheduled for its location at 800 Capital Circle SE next Tuesday at 2 p.m.
We are happy to announce that we have passed all inspections from growing and processing to dispensing and are the very first medical cannabis provider in the state to receive these formal authorizations. And we are most excited to get this much anticipated medicine to the patients of Florida, said Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers.
Trulieve will have low-THC cannabis available for statewide delivery immediately, the company says. Medical marijuana with higher levels of THC is expected to be available in August.
