Legal marijuana sales in the United States totaled approximately $2.17 billion in April, continuing the strong momentum seen throughout the year.
April’s total represents a modest increase over the $2.13 billion sold in March 2025. This brings total legal marijuana sales for 2025 to just over $8.35 billion through the first four months of the year, according to an analysis by The Marijuana Herald. The analysis used sales figures provided by state regulatory agencies, and when that wasn’t available data provided by the Seattle-based research firm Headset.
The April numbers include data from all states that have legalized recreational marijuana and have active sales, as well as medical-only markets in Florida and Oklahoma. As in previous months, Delaware, Minnesota, and Virginia are not included due to a lack of active recreational sales. Alaska and other medical cannabis states is excluded due to unavailable data for April.
The month of April included the annual 4/20 marijuana holiday, which led to notable increases in retail activity across many markets, although the impact was less pronounce in other states.
Below is a breakdown of marijuana sales by state for April 2025, based on data from Headset and official state agencies:
