Michigan Cannabis Sales Jump 7% to $270.9M in July, Pacing Ahead of Peers
Michigan posted the week's sharpest gain among state filings while Arizona and Massachusetts softened, and California's quarterly haul topped $1B.
FILE — harvest · My 420 Tours / CC BY-SA 4.0Michigan reported $270.9M in adult-use and medical cannabis sales for July 2026, up from $253.1M in June — a 7% monthly gain and the largest increase among this week's state filings. Adult-use sales alone accounted for $270.5M of the total, underscoring how thoroughly the state's medical channel has been eclipsed.
Michigan's print stands out against a broader pattern of moderation. Arizona's July sales fell to $90.2M from $97.6M in June, a decline of roughly 7.6%, the steepest drop tracked this week. Massachusetts sales eased to $161.5M in July from $169.4M in June, while Montana ($28.9M in August, down from $29.7M), Connecticut ($25M in August versus $25.6M), Oregon ($77.6M in August versus $79.6M), and Vermont ($13M in June versus $13.3M) all posted modest sequential declines.
Gainers Elsewhere
Not every market cooled. New Mexico climbed to $49.8M in July from $46.9M in June, Maryland rose to $109M in July from $103M, Maine advanced to $42.2M in June from $40M, and Colorado ticked up to $107.5M in May from $105.1M — with adult-use sales making up $98.5M of that total. Illinois, the region's largest reporting market by dollar volume, slipped slightly to $262.2M in June from $266.8M in May, with adult-use sales of $236.3M.
California and Canada
California's quarterly filing showed $1,013.2M in sales for the quarter starting April 1, 2026, reaffirming its position as the largest cannabis market tracked here, though the state does not report monthly detail. In Canada, sales rose to CAD 517.8M in June 2026 from CAD 510.4M in May, a gain of roughly 1.5%.
Pricing and Volume Signals
Massachusetts' average price per gram stood at $3.87 as of June 2026, the most recent pricing data available for that market. Separately, a state tracking retail unit counts logged 880,793 products sold in August 2026, offering a volume proxy even as topline dollar figures for that market softened month over month.
What to Watch
With state filings arriving on staggered schedules — Colorado's most recent data is from May, Illinois and Maine from June, while Montana, Connecticut, and Oregon report through August — comparisons across markets remain apples-to-oranges by month. Watch whether Michigan's July strength persists into its next filing, and whether Arizona's pullback stabilizes as more states report August figures in the coming weeks.
