The first month of adult-use marijuana sales in Illinois was a big one for dispensaries.
Nearly $40 million in sales went down statewide in January of 2020.
Dispensaries across the state sold 972,045 items over the 31-day period totaling $39,247,840.83.
“The successful launch of the Illinois’ legal cannabis industry represents new opportunities for entrepreneurs and the very communities that have historically been harmed by the failed war on drugs,” said Toi Hutchinson, Senior Advisor for Cannabis Control to Gov. Pritzker. “The administration is dedicated to providing multiple points of entry into this new industry, from dispensary owners to transporters, to ensure legalization is equitable and accessible for all Illinoisans.”
