Illinois Reports Nearly $11 Million in Pot Sales in 5 Days
Cannabis sales in Illinois, the latest state in which recreational use of marijuana has been legalized, reached nearly $11 million in the first five days of this year. This is according to data compiled by the state's Department of Financial & Professional Regulation (DFPR).
Legalization came into force last Wednesday, Jan. 1, and demand was overwhelming. Some dispensaries reported long lines of customers, more than a few of whom were not fortunate enough to obtain product. According to DFPR's data, total sales reached almost $3.2 million that day.
