Nevada Pot Sales Hit Monthly Record in New Fiscal Year
Nevada kicked off the first month of the new fiscal year with its biggest monthly marijuana sales since the state legalized pot for recreational use on July 1, 2017.
The Nevada Tax Department said this week the $7.9 million in marijuana tax revenue in July was 11 percent higher than Fiscal Year 2018’s three best months – March, May and June of 2018 – all at about $7.1 million.
It was a 92 percent gain from the inaugural month of sales in July 2017, $4.1 million.
For fiscal year 2019 ending next June 30, the department officially anticipates $69.4 million in revenue. But officials say that projection made in 2017 hasn’t been adjusted to reflect last year’s actual collections.
