The Illinois Department of Revenue announced on Monday that adult-use cannabis sales generated $7.3 million in cannabis tax revenue during the month of January, with an additional $3.1 million generated in retail sales tax revenue.
Gov. JB Pritzker’s recently released budget estimated the state would collect $28 million in cannabis tax revenue during the remainder of the fiscal year, ending June 30. The January figures suggest the state is on track to surpass that estimate.
