Since the sales began January 10, Connecticut has taken in just over $2 million.

That first day saw businesses net $359,000 collectively.

The total number of units sold in that first week was just over 45,000 at an average price of $44.24.

The data doesn't include taxes at the point of sale and is subject to further review, said DCP.

The department said future data will be available at ct.gov/cannabis and will be updated monthly on or after the 10th of the month.
