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.

Combined medical and adult-use marijuana sales first surpassed $7 billion
back in March 2024.

Separately, in May CCC launched an online platform aimed at helping people
find jobs, workplace training and networking opportunities in the state’s
legal cannabis industry.

State lawmakers have also been considering setting tighter restrictions on
intoxicating hemp-derived products and a plan to allow individual entities
to control a larger number of cannabis establishments.

Also in Massachusetts, legislators who were working on a state budget
butted heads with CCC officials, who’ve said they can’t make critical
technology improvements without more money from the legislature.
