Marylanders spent more than $10 million on marijuana over the holiday weekend as recreational sales for adult customers launched across the state.
According to the Maryland Cannabis Administration, combined recreational and medical cannabis purchases totaled $10.4 million Friday through Sunday, more than doubling sales from the same dates a year ago when it was only sold for medical purposes.
Saturday sales totaled $4.5 million — $959,430 in medical sales and $3.6 million in recreational.
About 100 stores that were already licensed to sell cannabis for medicinal purposes were able to begin selling it recreationally Saturday, more than five years after the state started selling medical marijuana, according to The Associated Press.
