In addition to a copious amount of patients, there are over 1,000 registered physicians that can write prescriptions for medical marijuana. 

“We continue to execute on GTI’s expansion plans and are thrilled AGL is officially part of the GTI team,” said Green Thumb Industries' Founder and CEO Ben Kovler. “AGL is a highly successful company in a limited license state with an excellent leadership team that will continue to be at the helm of this business. We are now solidly positioned in the tri-state area with this entry into Connecticut.”
