Cansortium (CSE: TIUM.U) (OTCQB: CNTMF), a provider of premium medical cannabis operating under the Fluent brand, continues to expand its presence in Florida. On Dec. 5, the company opened its 18th Florida dispensary in Lakeland, the largest city between Tampa and Orlando.

Located at 4825 US Highway 98 North, along Interstate 4 between Tampa and Orlando, the new 2,000 sq.-ft. Lakeland dispensary will serve the more than 600,000 residents of Polk County, which includes a large and diverse corporate population, as well as Florida Southern College.

“As one of the first five licensed operators in Florida – the state with the second-largest and fastest-growing medical marijuana patient population in the U.S. – we continue to execute our focused plan to expand our Florida dispensary network, enhancing access to premium-quality Fluent cannabis products for medical marijuana patients across the state,” Cansortium CEO Jose Hidalgo stated.

Fluent Dispensaries

Each of the company’s Florida dispensaries carries a complete assortment of Fluent premium dried flower, and full-spectrum concentrates and cartridges as well as creams, drops, capsules and suppositories.

All Fluent products in the company’s Florida dispensaries use cannabis that is cultivated, processed and packaged in the company’s state-of-the-art Florida facilities in strict compliance with Florida regulations.

Cansortium plans to open five more Florida locations between now and the end of the first quarter of 2020, according to CEO Hidalgo.
