Market Conditions in Connecticut
Fourteen medical dispensaries currently serve the whole state of Connecticut. Only four cultivation operations supply these stores, though all are working to expand their facilities. If adult-use is legalized in the near future, more operations will be needed to avoid supply shortages.
Connecticut’s medical marijuana program is growing rapidly -- from 8,228 patients in January 2016 to 40,597 in March 2020. The state has now more than tripled the number of patient qualifying conditions from 11 at the start of the program.
Five new patient qualifying conditions were added in early 2019. Operating dispensaries in Connecticut are able to sell medical marijuana for 36 adult medical conditions and 10 conditions for patients younger than 18. Chronic pain is still under review to be added to the list, as there has been discrepancy about the language being too broad and generic for some lawmakers.
