There are now more than 200,000 people in Florida who have received their Medical Marijuana Registry identification cards , and about 10,000 new patients are signing up every week. The state currently has 14 license holders, and that number is set to grow as state regulators approved licenses for eight more firms. As of April of this year, there were 85 dispensaries across the state, but the current number is higher because new dispensaries are being opened every week across the state.
