Connecticut’s legal cannabis market continues its steady expansion, with combined adult-use and medical marijuana sales reaching $23.8 million in April, according to newly released data from the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP). This figure pushes the state’s year-to-date total to nearly $100 million, underscoring the sustained growth of the regulated industry.
In April alone, adult-use cannabis accounted for $15.6 million, while medical marijuana sales brought in $8.2 million. Consumers purchased over 612,000 total products, with adult-use purchases making up nearly 400,000 items. The average product price was $39.32 for adult-use and $36.35 for medical marijuana products.
The sales data is compiled through the state’s Seed-to-Sale Tracking System, which records purchases by product type and average price point. All figures are preliminary and may be adjusted as more data is verified.
Connecticut launched adult-use cannabis sales in January 2023, joining a growing number of states with regulated recreational markets. Since then, the industry has seen month-over-month increases, reflecting rising consumer demand and broader product availability. The DCP emphasized that sales figures do not include taxes collected at the point of sale.
As Connecticut approaches the $100 million mark for 2025, the data suggests the state is on pace to surpass last year’s totals. The market’s trajectory highlights both the economic impact of legalization and the shifting public perception around cannabis use in the region.
