First week figures for Colorado Marijuana Sales.. [View all]
Sorry this took so long RainDog, was on the road for a few days.
Ok folks, none of this is official. for official numbers we will have to wait till Feb 20th but they are going to be close to this:
Day 1, 24 stores opened. Stores were open 10am to 7pm. 24 stores, 9 hours, and sales topped 1 million dollars.
By the end of week one 37 stores were open and the total for the first week was around 5 million dollars.
State gets 25% tax which means the state took in 1.25 million in the first week. This is about on par with what they expected, in the range of 70 million a year.. Which says nothing about the savings in cops, courts, judges, lawyers, jails, and the DEA..
The biggest thing was the smooth rollout. Things were so good the opposition was stuck either just making shit up, or sputtering that "something bad is going to happen, eventually, sometime, really, mark my words"...
