Missouri marijuana sales top $1.2 billion in first legal recreational year – Medical Marijuana Program Connection

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri dispensaries have sold more than $1.2 billion of marijuana products in the first year of legalized recreational sales.

According to the Missouri Cannabis Trade Association (MoCannTrade), state dispensaries topped $1,215,000,000 in sales through November.

MoCannTrade says the grand total consists of $930 million of recreational adult use sales and $285 million of medical marijuana sales.

For non-medical purposes, Missouri’s first marijuana sales for adults over 21 began on Feb. 3. Since then, the state has averaged nearly $4 million in sales of legal cannabis products per day.

MoCannTrade estimates state sales will top $1.3 billion by the end of the year, possibly $1 billion for recreational sales alone.

“In so many ways 2023 has been a historic and unprecedented year for the Missouri cannabis industry,” said Andrew Mullins, MoCannTrade Executive Director.
