$1 Billion in Cannabis Sales in Just 182 Days? – Illinois Voters Send Clear Message to the Feds about Weed Legalization

Governor JB Pritzker of Chicago claims that on July 1, 2024, retail cannabis sales in Illinois topped $1 billion. This sum comprises around $150 million for medicinal marijuana and about $850 million for adult consumption. Remarkably, this achievement occurred almost two weeks sooner in 2024 than in 2023 on July 10, when the $1 billion threshold was attained. Furthermore, cannabis sales increased to almost $2 billion in Fiscal Year 2024 from $1.9 billion in Fiscal Years 2023 and 2022 and $1.8 billion in Fiscal Years 2022.
