Connecticut and Rhode Island are experiencing impressive growth in the New England cannabis marketplace. Connecticut recently released figures in September 2023 with combined adult-use and medical marijuana sales hitting a noteworthy $25 million. Adult-use sales made up over $14 million of that amount. Meanwhile, Rhode Island fell just short of reaching five months consecutive of record-breaking sales in August, with $9.6 million in combined adult-use and medical sales.
In terms of consumer preference, Connecticut’s market saw a 52% dominance by traditional cannabis flower, followed by vapes, and then edibles. Rhode Island’s sales, on the other hand, highlighted the popularity of cannabis buds, followed by pre-rolls, and vape cartridges among its top sellers. As the industry continues to evolve, both states are actively changing regulations and equity in the cannabis industry at the forefront of discussions.
