Colorado Sets New Monthly Cannabis Sales Record

Six years after its first adult-use cannabis sale, Colorado set a monthly sales record in June totaling $158,102,628, according to state Department of Revenue Marijuana Enforcement Division Revenue outlined by the Denver Post. Last June, cannabis sales in the state reached about $122.4 million.

The previous cannabis sales record in the state of $149,186,615 was set in May, suggesting that cannabis sales in Colorado are booming during the pandemic. Prior to May, the only time sales in the state reached $140 million was in August 2019.

So far this year, medical and recreational cannabis sales in Colorado have totaled $978.35 million, setting the pace for 2020 to eclipse 2019’s record of $1.75 billion in total sales.
