I guess all those people you see every day standing in line outside the Sunnyside Cannabis Dispensary on McFarland Road showed up to spend some money last year.
For the fifth month in a row, Illinois is again reporting record-breaking weed sales, according to the state Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
The dollars coming in to the state from Illinois residents buying legal recreational marijuana continue to rise month-over-month, and sales to those across state borders are really jumping.
If you recall earlier this year, arguments raged back and forth over whether marijuana dispensaries should be labeled "essential" during the pandemic shutdowns across the country.
$34.8 million is less than the $39.2 million in January sales, but analysts say that Illinois' recreational marijuana market holds promise for continued growth.
