Regulated recreational marijuana retailers in Maine sold $1.4 million worth of cannabis in the first month of adult-use legalization, which kicked off on Oct. 9.
The preliminary, unaudited sales data from Maine’s Office of Marijuana Policy (OMP) covers 31 days of sales through Nov. 8.
Roughly $260,000 of those sales were made on the four-day long weekend following the market’s debut, according to previously released figures from the state regulator.
The OMP’s online adult-use retail sales data dashboard shows 21,194 recreational marijuana transactions in the first month, including 16,294 transactions for the partial month of October and 4,900 transactions for the first eight days of November.
Maine collected $140,954 in sales tax during the first 31 days, according to the sales dashboard.
The data also shows that smokable marijuana products comprised 76% of sales in Maine’s first month, according to an OMP news release.
