I knew the number would be big. Just didn't know how big was big. Now we know.
Illinois pot consumers buy nearly $40 million of legal weed in 31 days
Illinois cannabis dispensaries sold nearly $40 million in cannabis in just 31 days, an average of $1.3 million a day.
Numbers provided by Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s office show since the adult-use cannabis market launched Jan. 1, 972,045 items sold for $39.2 million. Of that, Illinois residents spent $30.6 million and out-of-state residents spent $8.6 million.

$1.3 MILLION per day. Going up in smoke.
Any idea what alcohol sales are per day here in Illinois? I would think at least 3-5x what marijuana raked-in.
Wonder how long it'll be before pot takes the lead?
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
