Massachusetts Sets New Cannabis Sales Record in 2025 at Over $1.65B

Massachusetts dispensaries sold more than $1.65 billion in adult-use cannabis products in 2025, according to data reported by the state Cannabis Control Commission (CCC). The total sets a new annual record for the state.

Officials said they collected $289 million in cannabis-derived tax revenues during fiscal year 2025, generated from the state’s 6.25% sales tax and a 10.75% cannabis excise tax.

Last year also marked a significant sales milestone for the industry after licensed retailers surpassed the $8 billion mark in June.

“The cannabis industry in Massachusetts continued to mature in 2025 with the number of cannabis businesses reaching the highest point since adult-use sales began in 2018. While gross sales remain high, the Commission will look to remove regulatory hurdles in 2026 through the new Red Tape Removal Committee, which will help licensees stabilize and plan for the future as the industry continues to evolve.” — Commission Chair Shannon O’Brien, in a press release

Meanwhile, the price of cannabis flower in Massachusetts recently reached an all-time low of $14.20 per eighth.

Last month, the CCC voted to create new license types allowing for social cannabis consumption, including hospitality licenses for new or non-cannabis businesses to allow on-site use.
