For many, Trulieve’s products are synonymous with relief and enjoyment. They can rest assured that behind each product is an intricate methodology designed to ensure safety, effectiveness and consistency. Rigorous testing is conducted to meet the highest safety and quality standards. Once products meet the internal standards, they are tested extensively by an ISO-certified third-party laboratory approved by the Florida Department of Health.
Its cultivation practices prioritize sustainability, emphasizing reducing environmental impact while maximizing yield. The production facilities house experienced scientists and technicians who oversee extraction, purification and quality assurance. These efforts culminate in products that are rigorously tested to meet both internal standards and external regulatory requirements.
A prime example of Trulieve’s sustainable practices is its Florida greenhouses. These are designed to best leverage their surroundings with six-foot sidewalls, allowing as much natural light and passive airflow as possible. The company also recycles electronic wastes, metals, cardboard and batteries from its cultivation and production facilities.

It actively engages in initiatives to support local economies, promote education about cannabis and advance social equity. By partnering with organizations and stakeholders, the company contributes to societal well-being and fosters goodwill among customers and communities.
"Our in-store patient education and consultation services lead the medical cannabis industry in Florida, and work as a model for infirmary operations in other legal states,” says Rivers.
Trulieve’s efforts to educate consumers are highly appreciated by the community. Through workshops, events and online resources, it empowers customers to make informed decisions about their cannabis use, fostering a sense of transparency and trust.
