oregon record pot sales
It’s a big pot payday.
Dispensaries in Oregon sold $10.8 million worth of recreational pot in
the first six days it was legal, said the Oregon Retailers of
Cannabis Association.
Recreational sales became legal in Oregon on October 1, and the
association has only tallied revenue through October 6.
Based on the first week of sales, a spokesperson for the retail group
projected that actual sales will “wildly surpass” the state’s
projections.
Oregon joined Colorado and Washington to become the third state to sell
pot for non-medicinal purposes.
Customers can buy one-quarter ounce per day, but seed sales are
unlimited. Growing and using marijuana for recreational purposes was
legalized on July 1.
The retailers association is the only group that can track recreational
marijuana sales made through December 31. That’s because it’s being
sold tax-free in the state until the end of the year.
