Rhode Island’s regulated marijuana market brought in $10.03 million in sales in March, closing out the first three months of 2026 with a combined $29,537,928 in revenue.
That total is nearly 5% higher than the roughly $28.3 million sold during the same period in 2025, continuing the state’s steady growth to start the year. The state’s cannabis data dashboard shows January sales of about $10.19 million, followed by $9.32 million in February and $10.03 million in March.
Of the March total, about $8.96 million came from adult-use sales and roughly $1.08 million came from medical marijuana sales, based on the figures shown in the state’s monthly sales chart. January posted about $9.09 million in adult-use sales and $1.10 million in medical sales, while February generated around $8.33 million in adult-use sales and $0.99 million in medical sales. The dashboard also lists the average transaction amount for the year at $36.32.
The latest numbers add to the evidence that Rhode Island’s marijuana industry remains on stable footing more than three years after legalization. While the market is small compared to some larger East Coast states, it has continued to generate consistent monthly sales as adult-use commerce becomes more established. Based on the state data, March marked the strongest month of the year so far, edging past January and rebounding from February’s dip.
Rhode Island legalized adult-use marijuana when Governor Dan McKee signed the Rhode Island Cannabis Act into law on May 25, 2022, and the state began adult-use sales on December 1, 2022. Under current Rhode Island rules, adults 21 and older may possess up to one ounce of marijuana flower on their person and up to 10 ounces at home, and they may also grow up to three mature and three immature plants. Adult-use marijuana is taxed at 10% for the state cannabis excise tax, 3% for the local excise tax, and the standard 7% sales tax.
