What Liberty Health Sciences does

Liberty Health Sciences, currently operating under the retail brand Ayr Dispensaries, is a Florida-based medical cannabis company that operates a vertically-integrated dispensary network serving patients with valid Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry ID cards. The company runs 65+ dispensary locations across 55 Florida cities, including 14 drive-thru locations and same-day delivery service within defined service radii. It sells a comprehensive product assortment covering flower, pre-rolls, vaporizers, concentrates, edibles, topicals, tinctures, orals, and accessories, carrying 14 in-house and partner brands such as Big Pete's, Camino, Dompen, Entourage, HAZE, Kynd, Lost Farm, Petra, and Revel.

The business model is direct-to-consumer retail of medical cannabis under Florida's medical-only regulatory framework. Revenue is generated through one-time per-transaction sales at dispensary counters, via online ordering with Express Pickup, drive-thru pickup, and same-day delivery. Patients pay cash or debit, with tax included in displayed prices. Distribution is concentrated exclusively in Florida, and the company's competitive positioning rests on regulatory licensing (a limited number of Florida MMTC permits are issued), the largest dispensary network in the state, brand portfolio breadth, and a loyalty program (Welcome Back Rewards) combined with community discount programs for veterans, seniors, and patients with financial hardship.

The company was founded in 2011, employs 101-250 staff, and was previously listed on the CNSX under ticker LHS before being delisted; it now operates privately. Historical capital activity includes an approximately $18.0 million equity raise in May 2018 and a $16 million acquisition of the William Noyes Webster Foundation in March 2018 to support Florida retail expansion. The current ownership structure, parent company relationships, and post-2018 financial performance are not disclosed in available source material.

Direct peers

• Trulieve Cannabis Corp: Largest Florida-licensed medical cannabis operator with 100+ dispensaries statewide; direct head-to-head competitor to Liberty Health Sciences / Ayr for Florida medical patients, with overlapping product mix (flower, vapes, edibles, concentrates) and same drive-thru and delivery omnichannel playbooks.
• MÜV (AltMed Florida): Florida-licensed medical cannabis dispensary chain operating 60+ locations; competes with Liberty Health Sciences for the same qualified-patient pool with a comparable product assortment and in-store pharmacist consultation model.
• Fluent Cannabis Care (formerly Surterra Wellness): Florida-focused medical cannabis retail brand with dozens of storefronts; direct peer with overlapping dispensary formats, medical-card-only fulfillment, and proprietary product branding across flower, vapes, and topicals.
• VidaCann: Florida medical cannabis dispensary operator with a multi-location footprint targeting similar qualifying-condition patients; comparable single-state retail model and product breadth including flower, vaporizers, and tinctures.

Broad incumbents

• Curaleaf Holdings: Multi-state U.S. cannabis MSO with established Florida retail presence; broader incumbency and portfolio capabilities, but overlapping dispensary formats and direct competition for Florida medical patients make it a key strategic peer.
• Cannabist (formerly Columbia Care): Multi-state cannabis operator with Florida dispensaries; broader national portfolio but directly competes in Florida's medical-only market with similar retail formats and licensed-pharmacist positioning.
• Sunnyside / Cresco Labs: Multi-state cannabis operator with Florida retail presence under the Sunnyside banner; comparable product assortment and store-with-pharmacist format, with broader geographic and brand portfolio at the parent level.
• Green Thumb Industries (GTI / RISE): Multi-state cannabis MSO with Florida RISE dispensaries; competes for the same medical-patient cohort, with broader national portfolio and branded product lines that overlap Liberty's flower, edible, and vape assortment.

Others

• AYR Wellness (formerly Ayr Strategies / formerly Liberty Cannabis / formerly CannAlytical): Former parent/affiliated entity of Liberty Health Sciences operating multi-state cannabis retail including the Ayr Dispensaries Florida chain; relevant as the historically controlling operator and for understanding the corporate structure behind the 65+ Florida storefronts.
• Jushi Holdings: U.S. multi-state cannabis operator that has held Florida medical licenses and operates retail storefronts adjacent to Liberty Health Sciences' territory; overlapping patient base and store-format competition in the FL medical market.
