Marijuana sales since February reach nearly $600 million

ST. LOUIS (KMOV) -- Missouri’s marijuana industry is making a major milestone Friday as pot sales in the state continue to smash records.

Adult-use recreational sales got the green light back in February. Since then, the Show-Me state has sold an average of $4 million of legal cannabis every day.

In June alone, recreational and medical sales totaled $121 million. It’s the fourth straight month the totals have been that high.

Over those five months, total marijuana sales in Missouri reached $592 million.
