In January, cannabis sales decreased sequentially by 3.1%. In this review, we break down the results by state, starting with the western markets and then ending with the eastern markets. Overall, the BDSA estimates sales in 15 markets totaled $2.07 billion in January, up 4.6 percent from a year earlier. BDSA updated its Illinois numbers after the state recently changed the way it counts sales.

Eastern markets
BDSA provides coverage for Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Annual growth in December ranged from -3.1% in Missouri to +37.6% in New York. Ohio began using adults in August, spurring growth. Note that Florida and Pennsylvania are medical markets only. On a daily basis, sequential gains declined in eight markets. Annual growth was negative in both markets and sharp in both states. We warned of a potential slowdown in Florida despite strong dispensary and unit volume growth due to competitive pressure.

New Cannabis Ventures offers readers this easy-to-read exclusive summary of BDSA’s 15-state monthly cannabis sales data.
Cannabis sales rose 2.9% sequentially in December, down 0.5% on the day. In this review, we break down the results by state, starting with the western markets and then ending with the eastern markets. Overall, BDSA estimates December sales in 15 markets totaled $2.14 billion, up 7.9 percent from a year ago, driven by strong growth in New York. BDSA updated its Illinois numbers after the state recently changed the way it counts sales.
Western markets
BDSA provides coverage for Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada and Oregon. In December, annual growth was negative in 4 states. In three of these states, daily growth fell sequentially.
Eastern markets
BDSA provides coverage for Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In December, year-over-year growth ranged from -3.5% in Maryland to +1,172.2% in New York, where adult sales were included by the BDSA beginning in January, but were first included several months ago. Ohio began using adults in August, spurring growth. Note that Florida and Pennsylvania are medical markets only. On a daily basis, sequential gains declined in five markets. Annual growth was negative in several markets and increased sharply in two states. We warned of a potential slowdown in Florida despite strong dispensary and unit volume growth due to competitive pressure, and it declined in four months of 2025, including three in the final four months of the year.
