Adult-use cannabis retailers in Illinois have sold almost $11 million of recreational marijuana since sales began Jan. 1.
On the first day alone, sales nearly reached $3.2 million. Sales were so brisk in the first few days, in fact, that some retail MJ stores ran out of supply and needed to temporarily close.
A portion of adult-use marijuana sales is returned to a community reinvestment fund for social equity programs for the Illinois market, said Toi Hutchinson, senior adviser to the governor for cannabis control, CNN reported.
