The state-legal medical marijuana programs nationwide have seen an uptick in the number of new patients enrolled since 2020, according to newly published federal research in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. The study, conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the University of Michigan showed that there were 4.1 million registered medical cannabis patients in 2022 countrywide, compared to 3.1 million in 2020. That's a 33.3% increase over two years. The researchers proposed that the increase is simultaneous with "increasing cultural acceptance of cannabis, recognition of the harm of the ‘war on drugs' (for example, mass incarceration and related consequences, such as family separation, trauma, and economic loss), and interest in the potential therapeutic properties of cannabis," reported Marijuana Moment.
Multi-state marijuana operator MariMed has closed the acquisition of Allgreens Dispensary, LLC on Tuesday, April 9, its fifth dispensary in Illinois. The Massachusetts-based company said the green light from the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation for the license transfer and subsequent closing of the acquisition, allows MariMed to fully consolidate the financial results of the company's Thrive-branded dispensary in Casey, Illinois. Previously, the dispensary has been operated under a managed services agreement. The move comes on the heels of MariMed's last week's acquisition of the operating assets of Our Community Wellness & Compassionate Care Center in Prince George's County in Maryland. Jon Levine, MariMed's CEO and one of the speakers at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference next week, said "maximizing our footprint there [in Maryland] has long been one of our top strategic priorities."
