Connecticut Marijuana Sales Top $24 Million in March, $71 Million in Q1, as Prices Fall Nearly 30%

Connecticut’s legal marijuana market brought in $24,123,469 in sales in March, pushing the state’s year-to-date total to $71,014,100, according to new state data released today. That puts the market slightly ahead of the roughly $70 million generated during the first three months of 2025, continuing a trend of steady growth even as retail prices continue to fall sharply.

The increase is notable given how much the average price of dried marijuana flower has dropped over the past year. In March, the average price per gram was $7.22, down nearly 30% from the $10.27 average recorded in March 2025. Despite that decline, overall revenue still rose, indicating that lower prices have not slowed consumer demand and may instead be helping drive more purchases across the state’s adult-use market.

The March total adds to what has already been a strong start to the year for Connecticut’s marijuana industry. With more than $71 million in sales through the first quarter, the market remains on pace to outdo last year’s early totals even as price compression continues to put pressure on operators. That mirrors a broader pattern seen in other legal states, where competition and increased supply have pushed prices lower while overall consumer participation remains strong.

Connecticut legalized adult-use marijuana in 2021, with the state’s first licensed recreational stores opening on January 10, 2023. State law allows adults 21 and older to possess up to 1.5 ounces on their person and up to 5 ounces in a locked container at home or in a vehicle’s glove box or trunk. Marijuana purchases in Connecticut are subject to the state’s 6.35% sales tax, a 3% municipal tax, and a potency-based excise tax based on THC content.
