Connecticut Marijuana Sales Top $22.4 Million in February as Prices Hit Record Low
- Connecticut’s adult-use marijuana market generated $17.25 million in sales in February 2026, with medical marijuana sales adding $5.15 million, totaling $22.4 million for the month.
- Total sales increased slightly compared to February 2025, despite the average price per gram dropping nearly 30%, reaching a new low of $7.44 in February 2026.
- The data reflects an expanding marijuana market in Connecticut, where increased sales volumes offset declining prices, a trend seen in other mature marijuana markets.
- Connecticut legalized adult-use marijuana in July 2021, with the first stores opening in January 2023, and imposes multiple taxes on cannabis sales, including state, municipal, and THC potency-based taxes.
Connecticut’s adult-use marijuana market generated $17,253,693 in sales in February, while medical marijuana sales reached $5,147,858, bringing the state’s total marijuana sales for the month to $22,401,551. This is according to new data released today by the state’s Department of Consumer Protection. That total is above the roughly $22.1 million sold in February 2025, an increase that came even as the average price per gram continued to fall sharply. In February 2026, the average price per gram was $7.44, down nearly 30% from the $10.58 average recorded in February 2025. The February 2026 average also marks a new all-time low for the state.
The figures indicate that Connecticut’s marijuana market continues to expand in terms of volume even as consumers pay less per gram. That combination has become a recurring theme in legal marijuana states, where greater competition and a maturing retail system often push prices lower while overall sales remain steady or continue to climb.
In Connecticut, the latest numbers show that lower prices have not slowed the market’s momentum. Instead, the state brought in more total marijuana revenue than it did a year earlier despite the significant drop in average prices.
Connecticut legalized adult-use marijuana on July 1, 2021, with the state’s first adult-use cannabis stores opening on January 10, 2023.
