Legal marijuana sales in November set a new monthly record in Connecticut.
According to data released by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, there was exactly $25,689,805.72 worth of legal marijuana and marijuana products sold throughout November. This breaks the monthly record of $25.2 million set in September of this year.
Of the nearly $25.7 million in marijuana sold, $15,372,542 came from the purchase of recreational marijuana, while $10,317,263 was purchased by authorized medical marijuana patients.
Over half of the marijuana purchased was dried marijuana flower at 52% of total sales, following by vape cartridges at 28%, infused edibles at 10% and marijuana concentrates at 4%.
The average price per marijuana product saw a modest increase from the record-setting low of $36.48 in October, to $38.44 in November.
The total amount of marijuana sold since the start of legal recreational marijuana sales in January of this year is now over a quarter of a billion dollars.
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.
Last month the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) announced that the state will be doubling its purchase limit for recreational marijuana, from a quarter of an ounce per transaction to half an ounce.
