New Cannabis Ventures offers readers this easy-to-read exclusive summary of BDSA’s monthly cannabis sales data for 15 states.
Cannabis sales decreased 4.3% sequentially in September, which was a decrease on a per-day basis of 1.1%. In this review, we share the results by state, beginning with the western markets and then concluding with the eastern markets. In total, BDSA estimates that sales across the 15 markets totaled $2.06 billion during September, which was up 7.1% from a year ago. Excluding the large gain in New York, which I explain below, sales rose 1.2%. Note that BDSA revised Florida and Pennsylvania data historically.
Western Markets
BDSA provides coverage for Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada and Oregon. In September, year-over-year growth was negative in 3 states. Growth fell sequentially on a per-day basis in three of these states.
Eastern Markets
BDSA provides coverage for Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In September, year-over-year growth ranged from -4.9% in New Jersey to +945.9% in New York, which had its adult-use sales included by BDSA beginning in January but first included a few months ago. Ohio began adult-use in August which has boosted the growth. Note that Florida and Pennsylvania are medical-only markets. Sequential growth was flat in two markets and negative eight markets and fell in these three markets on a per-day basis. The annual growth was meager except in two states. We have been warning about Florida potentially slowing despite the strong growth in dispensaries and in unit volumes due to competitive pressure, and it fell slightly a year ago after an annual decline in April earlier this year.
