Vireo Growth Inc. Secures Federal Registrations for Florida Medical Cannabis Dispensaries
Vireo Growth Inc., a leading cannabis company and agricultural markets platform, has received federal registrations from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for all 41 of its state-licensed medical cannabis dispensaries in Florida.

The DEA registrations are part of the initial batch issued under the new Schedule III framework established by the DEA in April 2026. This framework recognizes responsible, state-licensed cannabis operators and aims to create a more stable and sustainable industry.
“We are pleased to have received these registrations, which demonstrate our commitment to responsible and compliant operations in Florida,” said John Mazarakis, Chief Executive Officer of Vireo. “We appreciate the DEA’s efforts in advancing this process and look forward to continued progress towards a federal regulatory framework that supports the growth and development of the industry.”

The company is focused on expanding its market share and strengthening its portfolio of consumer brands and services, while supporting its customers, employees, shareholders, and communities.
