Trulieve (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF), a leading and top-performing cannabis company ranked #2 on the Global Cannabis 50, announced this week its dispensary in Bristol, Connecticut has begun selling adult-use cannabis products.

Adult-use cannabis became legal in Connecticut on July 1, 2021. Residents over the age of 21 can legally possess and consume marijuana. The medical dispensaries in Connecticut just began offering adult-use cannabis on Jan. 10, almost two years after recreational cannabis was legalized in Connecticut. Trulieve’s joined the party this week with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, food, music and swag giveaways at the Bristol store’s grand opening.

Recently relocated to 820 Farmington Ave., the company’s hybrid (medical and adult-use) dispensary has operating hours of 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Sundays, with the first hour of each day reserved for medical-only sales. The spacious showroom at the new location features ample parking to enhance the overall customer experience. Trulieve customers can choose from a large selection of products from friendly and knowledgeable dispensary agents via pre-order or in store.

“Trulieve has a long history in Connecticut that dates back to the first medical cannabis sale in 2014, so we are proud to now offer adult-use cannabis in the state,” said Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers. “Our team is ready to welcome patients and customers into this beautiful new Trulieve dispensary. We remain committed to supporting our patients throughout their cannabis journey and expanding our offerings to Connecticut’s new adult-use cannabis market.”

As industry leading, vertically integrated cannabis company and MSO with a market cap of $3.87 billion, the Tallahassee, FL-headquartered company has a presence in 21 U.S. states. The company owns and operates 144 dispensaries and other retail outlets and 29 cultivation sites as well as respected brands Curaleaf and Select.
