July marijuana sales in Connecticut were almost identical to the record-breaking total for June.
According to the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, there was $23,627,729.22 worth of marijuana and marijuana products sold legally in July. This is close to the record-breaking $23,906,583 sold in June. There was $22.7 million sold in May.
The total amount of marijuana sold since the start of legal recreational marijuana sales in January of this year now stands at almost $150 million.
For June, around half all marijuana purchased was dried marijuana flower, while a quarter of all purchases were vape products. One in 10 marijuana purchases was the purchase of marijuana-infused edibles.
Connecticut’s recreational marijuana law was passed in 2021, with the first marijuana store opening in January of this year. Under the law those 21 and older can possess up to 1.5 ounces of marijuana which they can purchase from a licensed marijuana retail outlet. They can also grow up to six plants for personal use.
Under a new law that took effect on July 1, the personal cultivation of up to six marijuana plants is now allowed for anyone who’s at least 21 years old. Just three marijuana plants are allowed to be mature at any point (meaning three of the six must be immature plants or seedlings), and there’s a maximum of 12 per household.
