New figures from the Alaska Department of Revenue show Alaska’s legal marijuana industry has reached a new peak of production and sales.
In March, 27 growers paid the state $220,229 in tax revenue. Alaskans bought 225 pounds of bud or flower and 169 pounds of other plant parts (typically used as raw material for concentrates).
Each of those figures are the most since the state’s first legal marijuana sales took place in the last days of October.
Tax figures trail actual sales by one month; figures for March are released at the end of April. April’s figures will be released at the end of May.
