Adult-use cannabis sales and tax revenue

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10)---New York State now has a total of 165 legal adult-use dispensaries. According to the Office of Cannabis Management, the demand for legal cannabis is up.

"In the first quarter of 2024, we sold $100 million dollars worth of cannabis. In the second quarter of 2024, we sold over $160 million dollars worth of cannabis, so almost $60 million dollars growth between the first and second quarters of 2024. Q3 looks like it’s on pace to surpass the second quarter as well," said John Kagia, OCM's Policy Director.
