Maryland’s legal marijuana market brought in a record-breaking $102,723,690 in sales for May 2025, according to newly released data from the Maryland Cannabis Administration.
The figure marks the highest single-month total since legal sales began, pushing the state’s year-to-date marijuana revenue to $480.7 million. The previous monthly record was $100.6 million sold in August 2024.
Adult-use purchases once again made up the majority of the sales. Flower led the way among product categories, generating $49 million. Concentrates followed with $31 million, while edibles accounted for $12 million. The remaining sales came from other products, including tinctures, capsules, and topicals. The average price per gram in May was $8.57.
Maryland began adult-use marijuana sales in July 2023 after voters approved legalization in 2022. Recreational sales are subject to a 9% state tax, with local governments allowed to add up to an additional 3%. Medical marijuana remains tax-free.
Revenue collected from marijuana taxes is used to support the Community Reinvestment and Repair Fund, public schools, drug prevention programs, and oversight of the regulated industry. The Maryland Cannabis Administration oversees the licensing and regulation of marijuana businesses across the state.
