Sales figures for legal cannabis begin to trickle inHow much cannabis was sold in the first two weeks of legalization? About $43 million, according to Statistics Canada, which broke out the figure when it released its October retail sales indicator on Friday. If those figures are extrapolated to assume steady sales over an entire year, cannabis sales in Canada could climb north of $1 billion. Total cannabis sales accounted for about 0.08 per cent of Canada’s overall retail sales figures in the month, but will likely increase once the countrywide supply shortage eases and other form factors like edibles and extracts enter the market.
