New York cannabis sales pass $1.4B by third quarter

What happened

According to MJBizDaily, New York’s cannabis market surpassed $1.4 billion in sales through the third quarter. The outlet compared that period’s reported activity with the market’s cumulative total since its launch. That broader total reached $4.1 billion following the market’s start in December 2022. Together, the figures describe both the latest reported period and sales accumulated since opening.

MJBizDaily reported that the third-quarter figure made up about 34% of cumulative sales. In other words, the period highlighted in the report accounted for approximately one-third of all sales recorded from the market’s December 2022 launch through the point covered by the article. This share is the report’s central comparison between recent activity and the longer-running total.

What it means for Washington

For Washington consumers, the report offers context on the scale of New York’s cannabis market rather than a measure of cannabis sales in Washington. The figures cited by MJBizDaily are specific to New York, and the summary provides no Washington sales total or direct state-to-state comparison. Its relevance is therefore limited to understanding New York’s reported sales scale since launch.
