Licensed marijuana retailers in Connecticut sold a combined $25,303,044 worth of products in May, marking the state’s highest monthly total so far in 2025.
The Department of Consumer Protection reports that $18,745,365 came from adult-use sales, while medical marijuana accounted for $6,557,679. The increase from April’s total of $23.8 million reflects continued growth in the state’s marijuana market.
The average price per gram dropped to $9.98 in May, the lowest it has been since October 2023. While specific breakdowns by product type were not included, flower and vape cartridges have consistently led monthly sales.
Marijuana in Connecticut is subject to a 6.35% state sales tax along with a THC-based excise tax for adult-use products. Medical marijuana remains exempt from both. The state legalized marijuana in 2021, with licensed sales beginning in January 2023.
Adults 21 and older are allowed to possess up to 1.5 ounces of marijuana in public and up to five ounces at home. Households may also cultivate up to six plants, with a limit of three mature plants at any given time.
