In October, legal marijuana states collectively generated $1.872 billion in sales.
This total, based on an analysis by The Marijuana Herald, represents a marginal decrease from September’s $1.877 billion, highlighting the market’s stability. Sales data for most states was sourced from their regulatory bodies overseeing the marijuana industry. In instances where this data was unavailable, figures from the research firm Headset were used.
Looking ahead, monthly revenues are expected to rise in 2025 as Delaware and Minnesota prepare to launch their legal marijuana markets.
