Florida’s medical marijuana industry continued its strong performance in December, with $145,551,582 in sales reported.
This brings the year-to-date total for 2024 to an impressive $1.81 billion, reaffirming Florida’s position as the largest medical marijuana market in the nation. This is according to data released by the research firm Headset.
Dried marijuana flower remained the most popular category among purchases in December, followed by vape pens, edibles, concentrates, tinctures, capsules, and topicals.
Established through the passage of Amendment 2 in 2016, Florida’s medical marijuana program allows patients with qualifying conditions—such as chronic pain, cancer, epilepsy, and PTSD—to access marijuana with a physician’s recommendation. Florida’s program supports nearly 900,000 registered patients served by approximately 620 licensed dispensaries statewide.
Although the medical market thrives, a recent attempt to expand access fell short. In November, more than 50% of voters supported Amendment 3, which aimed to legalize recreational marijuana for adults 21 and older. However, the measure failed to achieve the required 60% supermajority for passage.
