In total Oregon marijuana stores sold $80,748,638 worth of marijuana in April, according to data released by the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission. This is roughly on par with the $81 million sold in March, but is a decrease from the $90 million sold in April, 2022.
The $80.7 million in marijuana sold in April brought in $13.7 million in tax revenue, based on the state’s 17% marijuana tax rate. This doesn’t include any tax revenue obtained by cities who have established their own local tax.
There has now been $5.58 billion in legal marijuana sold between October, 2016 and March, 2023, garnering nearly $1 billion in tax revenue. The top month during that period was April, 2021 with $110 million sold
