Colorado's monthly marijuana sales were down in August, dropping for the first time since April.
Overall the industry is still strong, after some speed bumps early on in the COVID-19 pandemic.
People spent $218,601,341 on cannabis in August, according to the Colorado Department of Revenue.
That’s down 3.43 percent from July — a month that set a record for the state with $226,374,568 in sales. But still, August's total is the second-highest ever. As usual, most of that money came from recreational pot sales. August also brought in more than $40,695,613 in tax revenue.
