Vermont’s legal marijuana market generated $10.52 million in sales in February, according to new data released by the state’s Department of Taxes.
February’s figure is nearly identical to the $10.6 million sold during the same month last year.
So far in 2025, licensed marijuana retailers in Vermont have sold $22.06 million worth of product, an uptick from the $21.08 million sold during the same period in 2024. February’s sales brought in an estimated $1.47 million in tax revenue, contributing to a year-to-date total of $2.09 million. The state applies a 14% excise tax on all retail marijuana and marijuana product sales.
Vermont lawmakers legalized recreational marijuana in 2018, making it the first state to do so legislatively. The original law permitted only personal possession and cultivation, with a commercial sales framework approved two years later. Licensed retail sales began in 2022.
Under the state’s tax structure, 30% of excise tax revenue is dedicated to substance misuse prevention, while the remaining 70% supports Vermont’s General Fund.
