Legal marijuana states generated a combined $1.92 billion in sales in November, resulting in over $260 million in tax revenue.
According to an analysis by The Marijuana Herald, the $1.92 billion is a modest increase from the $1.87 billion sold in October and the $1.88 billion sold in September, but remains slightly less than the $1.95 billion sold in August.
The analysis used data from multiple state regulatory agencies. When state data was not available, data provided to us by the research firm Headset was used. The analysis did not include sales from Alaska or New Jersey, which have not been reported for November. In Delaware and Minnesota, licensed recreational marijuana sales have been legalized, but will not begin until 2025.
