Massachusetts Marks New Marijuana Milestone, With Adult-Use Sales Topping $8 Billion Since Market Launch

Massachusetts officials have announced a new milestone in the state’s adult-use marijuana program, with total recreational cannabis sales now exceeding $8 billion since the market launched.

Just about seven months after marijuana sales reached $7 billion, the state added another billion by the end of June, according to data from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) that was released on Tuesday.

Adding sales totals from the first half of July, the state has seen $8.033 billion in adult-use cannabis purchases since legalization was implemented in 2018.

“The Commission is glad to see the Commonwealth achieve another adult-use cannabis sales milestone, which demonstrates that consumers continue to have confidence in the safety and security of the regulated market,” CCC Executive Director Travis Ahern said in a press release.

He added that as the state prepares for the launch of social consumption lounges “in the coming months,” regulators “look forward to increasing economic growth for Massachusetts.” CCC said last month they plan to finalize rules for the new license type by October.

Broken down by product type, cannabis flower has continued to be the most popular option for adult consumers in 2025, accounting for $338 million from January 1 to July 6. That was followed by vape products ($169 million) and pre-rolls ($116 million).

Meanwhile, Massachusetts medical marijuana sales now stand at $1.4 billion total since 2018.
