Move over sagebrush, Nevada may have a new state flower.
Recreational marijuana sales topped $41 million in March, the largest since legal sales began statewide in July.
That translates into $7.09 million in tax revenue in March from marijuana, according to a state Department of Taxation release Wednesday.
“March numbers continue to point to a strong likelihood that Nevada will close out the fiscal year this June with much more robust marijuana revenue collections than anticipated,” department executive director Bill Anderson said in a statement.
To date, recreational marijuana taxable sales have totaled $304.73 million.
