U.S. Legal Marijuana Sales Reach $2.2 Billion in May, Pushing 2025 Total Past $10.5 Billion

Legal marijuana sales in the U.S. climbed to roughly $2.2 billion in May, marking another strong month for the industry as 2025 nears the halfway point.

The latest monthly total marks a slight increase from the $2.17 billion sold in April, and it pushes year-to-date sales past $10.5 billion, based on figures from state agencies and the research firm Headset. The data covers all states with operational recreational marijuana markets, along with medical-only sales in Florida and Oklahoma.

Delaware, Minnesota, and Virginia are excluded due to a lack of active recreational sales. Alaska and most medical-only states are also not included due to unavailable May data.

Below is a full state-by-state breakdown of legal marijuana sales for May 2025.
