Newsletter – April 2022 The Busiest Month in Cannabis

Just like that the busiest month in cannabis has come to a close. From record-breaking sales to the re-emergence of Cannabis holiday gatherings, April was a return towards cannabis normalcy.

Although numbers are still trickling in, MG Retailer reports that holiday sales saw a 148% increase compared to the previous four Wednesdays. In addition, cannabis data company Flowhub reports that this year’s 4/20 was the largest day for cannabis sales in the past four years.

Although one day’s sales is just a single data point for the entire year, the growth in 4/20 revenue provides strong evidence of the increasing economic impact of the cannabis industry.
