Marijuana sales in Colorado increased by 10% in August. The increase in marijuana sales is attributed mostly to the opening of additional (recreational) dispensaries across the state.

Consumers bought more than $32.2 million in medical cannabis in August. That’s up from $28.9 million in July and $28.6 million in June.
