Delaware weed sales in first recreational month

Delaware's Office of the Marijuana Commissioner says adult-use cannabis sales topped $7.35 million in August, marking a strong launch for the state's new market.

DOVER, Del. - The Office of the Marijuana Commissioner is reporting strong results from the first month of recreational marijuana sales in Delaware, suggesting it was a successful launch for adult-use cannabis.

August saw steady growth across Kent, Sussex and New Castle counties. The office said Delaware consumers showed a broad variety of interest in products purchased, including flower, vapes, edibles, pre-rolls, tinctures and topicals.

In just the first month, the sales reflected high demand. According to the OMC these numbers are laying a solid foundation for the first state’s cannabis industry.

The Office of the Marijuana Commissioner reported $7.35 million in total retail sales, with 55 percent of those sales being exclusively usable cannabis, or "flower."
