Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF), a leading and top-performing cannabis company in the United States and the largest cannabis company in Florida, announced today that it has been awarded a processor permit by the West Virginia Office of Medical Cannabis. The selection now gives the multi-state operator a presence in six states.

Trulieve’s mission has always been to provide the highest level of cannabis products and customer experience through authentic and reciprocal relationships with its customers and patients. This selection further supports that mission by introducing new patient populations to the Trulieve brand and offering relief they can rely on through the company’s safe, quality products.

“We want to thank the Office of Medical Cannabis for their comprehensive and thoughtful approach during this process, and we look forward to building a positive relationship with the state of West Virginia,” said Kim Rivers, CEO of Trulieve. “We are truly excited to be entering a sixth state. As a processor, we look forward to bringing our Trulieve brand to West Virginia through wholesale opportunities, partnering with other companies to bring their products to market in the state, and executing on our strategic vision to be the leading customer-focused cannabis brand in the United States, with depth in the markets we choose to operate in. Our plan is to be operational as soon as possible to provide access to the patients in West Virginia.”

Trulieve is committed to investing in the communities it operates in and will further this commitment by working with well-regarded local businesses during construction and operation. Trulieve expects to be operational in the state within the next six months.
