While total monthly sales dipped 0.9 % compared to May, this slight decline masks a daily-volume gain—sales per day rose by 2.4 %, indicative of strong underlying consumer demand . Excluding New York—with its newly integrated adult-use market—overall year-over-year growth across the remaining 14 states was modest, at 0.2 %.
Breakdown by Region
Western States
In Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, and Oregon, four of the five markets saw annual sales declines. Arizona faced the steepest drop at ‑8.4 %, whereas Oregon posted slight growth of +0.8 % year‑over‑year. June’s per‑day sequential figures showed gains in two states within this group.
Eastern States
Eastern markets—including both adult-use and medical states such as Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania—exhibited a diverse performance. Maryland’s sales declined by ‑2.7 % year-over-year, while New York saw an astounding 945.5 % surge, reflecting the inclusion of its newly commenced adult-use segment by BDSA. Ohio also experienced strong gains following its adult‑use rollout in August 2024.
Several eastern markets posted negative month-to-month numbers this June, with four states declining overall and all states showing dips on a per‑day basis. Florida, in particular, continued its trend of struggling growth—flat annually after three consecutive months of decline—and Pennsylvania also saw low single-digit annual gains .
Key Takeaways
Annual growth: +7.4 % overall, driven primarily by New York’s explosive gain; otherwise, nearly flat at +0.2 %.
Monthly trend: June sales slightly down (-0.9 %) month-over-month, yet daily sales climbed (+2.4 %), suggesting operational dynamics like month length influenced net totals.
Market divergence: Western states largely contracting; Eastern markets mixed—with standout growth in states onboarding adult-use markets.
Watch areas: Florida and Pennsylvania remain under pressure amid evolving medical market dynamics.
As the legal cannabis landscape continues to evolve—with new adult-use launches and state-by-state regulatory adjustments—the June data suggest sustained demand, albeit with significant geographic variability.
