The first month of recreational cannabis in Missouri was a booming one.
Since dispensaries first opened their doors for recreational sales on February 3, they've raked in $103 million statewide. By comparison, Illinois' first month — January of 2020 — totalled $39 million.
It was originally estimated that Missouri would hit $1 billion in cannabis sales by 2024, but it could happen this year if it continues at this rate — the original projection for 2023 was $730 million.
