WORCESTER, Mass. — This month, the state’s marijuana industry surpassed $6 billion in total sales for adult use cannabis since the first dispensary opened in 2018.
The figure is about $7 billion combined with medical use marijuana.
The Cannabis Control Commission said the industry created more than 22,000 jobs and revitalized a number of vacant industrial spaces into cultivation sites and dispensaries.
CCC Commissioner Kim Roy said excise and sales taxes go into the marijuana regulation fund and is used for public health and substance addiction programs, community empowerment grants, and community college’s success program.
