BBC Special on Curaleaf UKs Major Market Growth The company, Curaleaf UK, says its exports of medical cannabis trebled in the last year, with 200kg (441lb) now arriving at the site each month.
One in 25 of its 16,000 clients live in the region, with chronic pain being the most common reason for prescription.
Jonathan Hodgson, managing director, says the industry's growth is expected to continue.
"It's sometimes difficult to get the total picture in a new industry but most people agree it's growing every month," he says.
"All we know for a fact is what we're producing - and we deliver cannabis to other clinics as well.
"It grows by hundreds and hundreds every month."
