The Maryland Cannabis Administration released year-end sales data for 2023 and launched a Medical and Adult-Use Data Dashboard. The data dashboard provides site visitors with interactive maps, sales and volume figures, and graphs that allow users to explore a wide range of data formatted in aggregate sales, licensing, and patient data.

Sales Data

December marks the highest-grossing month since adult-use cannabis legalization took effect on July 1, 2023. Monthly retail sales surpassed $96 million, with the adult-use market accounting for nearly two-thirds of total sales ($61.5 million).

Combined medical and adult-use retail sales totaled almost $800 million for 2023 ($796.3 million), with $550 million in sales since adult-use sales began on July 1. Adult-use retail sales from July 1 through December 31 totaled $331.8 million.

Data Dashboard

The Cannabis Administration launched the Medical and Adult-Use Data Dashboard to promote transparency and provide critical program data and metrics related to Maryland’s cannabis industry.

“The data dashboard provides industry stakeholders and the public access to important market and business data,” said Maryland Cannabis Administration Acting Director Will Tilburg. “And we are working to expand the scope of information included in the dashboard. In the coming months, important aggregate data related to the medical cannabis program, inspections and compliance, and laboratory testing will be added.”

The dashboard data will be updated monthly, and site visitors can download the entire dataset. The dashboard also contains a set of filters that allow users to target specific information, and extracted data can be saved as a .xls or .csv file or viewed as a PDF file. The date of the current data extract exists on the navigation bar.
