Matt Darin
Medical Cannabis Dispensaries
Those suffering with pain or anxiety can find relief at Curaleaf, where the grass is not just greener, it’s better.
CEO Matt Darin explains that Curaleaf began in 2010 as a medical device company created to help late-stage cancer patients use cannabis in the hospital and has since emerged as an undisputed industry leader — leveraging its platform to expand access to high-quality, regulated and legal cannabis across the globe.
“The company was a founding member of the regulated cannabis industry with its roots in the Northeast,” expresses Darin, who joined Curaleaf in July 2020 following the company’s acquisition of Grassroots, where he previously served as founder and COO. “In May 2022, I was named CEO of Curaleaf and have been consistently inspired by the passion, knowledge and commitment of our nearly 5,500 team members.”
With more than 10 years of cannabis industry experience, Darin has witnessed the growth of Florida’s medical cannabis industry firsthand.
“In a state like Florida, education and research, in alignment with strict quality controls and regulations, help us remove the stigma surrounding cannabis and make it accessible to those who need it, especially as a substitute for opiate medications and other prescription drugs,” Darin points out.
Curaleaf recently celebrated the opening of its 60th retail location in Florida, bringing its national retail footprint to 152 dispensaries across the 19 markets where the company operates. It currently operates two locations in Boca Raton, both of which opened earlier this year — Curaleaf Boca Raton Glades and Curaleaf Boca Raton West.
“The most popular product category statewide is cannabis flower, averaging 43% of total sales across the state,” Darin says. “We offer several flower brands, including Grassroots premium flower, our value offering FIND and our house brand Curaleaf,” Darin adds. “We typically point first-time users to our edibles’ portfolio (like our recently launched edibles brand, JAMS), which offers a wide range of dosages from 2.5 mg. to 10 mg. and is ideal for those who are new to the cannabis category.”
Live life well at Curaleaf.
