In September, legal marijuana states collectively generated $1.877 billion in sales, resulting in over a quarter of a billion dollars in tax revenue.
September’s total, based on an analysis by The Marijuana Herald, are slightly lower than August’s record $1.955 billion, but demonstrated market strength and consistency. The market’s monthly revenue is likely to increase in 2025, as Delaware and Minnesota plan to launch their legal marijuana markets. In addition, voters in three states —Florida, North Dakota and South Dakota— have the opportunity in less than two weeks to legalize marijuana for everyone 21 and older.
Using data from state regulatory agencies (and when that’s not available data from the research firm Headset), below is a state-by-state breakdown of September’s marijuana revenue.
- Arizona: $85 million
- California: $334 million
- Colorado: $104 million
