Here’s What Made December Stand Out: These Two States Raked In Hundreds Of Thousands In Cannabis Sales

Maryland residents spent a record $96.5m on cannabis products in December, according to data from the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA). Of that total, $61.5m came from recreational cannabis sales, while medical sales totaled around $35m for the month. Maryland has seen booming sales since the launch of the recreational market last summer. At the time, existing cannabis companies in the state switched to adult-use shops by paying an 8% one-time fee of their 2022 dispensary revenue not exceeding $2m. Licensed stores took in $20.9m in the first week of legal sales. In total, Maryland recorded $787.5m in sales of legal marijuana products in 2023. Over the same period, Rhode Islanders spent more than $107.8m on combined cannabis sales.

Third Time Was Not The Charm: Alabama Judge Blocks Medical Marijuana Permits

The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) has had a third attempt to allocate medical cannabis licences put on hold by a Montgomery Court judge.

The restraining order put an end to the issuing of licences across the board, putting an end to the so-called "integrated facility licences" through which operators would have gained an opportunity for vertical integration. Last week the same judge temporarily stopped the issuance of licences in the dispensary category.
