The measure of cash spent on legal cannabis deals in Spokane County a year ago was bigger than the retail sales of wine, bread or milk. That data is from the sales numbers from the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board, and an overview of family unit costs directed by the U.S. Census Bureau. Month to month offers of pot topped $5 million in Spokane County in March for the first time, which is on track to top sales at local book shops, historical museums, music venues, as per data discharged by the Washington Department of Revenue.
The Spokesman-Review reported that Spokane County pot retailers reported near $43 million in sales in 2015, as indicated by the state Liquor and Cannabis Board. That is an average of $225.64 per family. By correlation, retail brew deals were $232.70 per Spokane County family a year ago, according to the Consumer Expenditure Survey managed by the Census Bureau. The normal family burned through $154.85 on wine, $155.37 on milk and $109.71 on bread in 2015.
Not all cannabis sold in Spokane County is devoured by local residents. State law permits the 17 state-authorized pot shops in the region to offer to anybody older than 21, and numerous clients roll over from Idaho and Montana. Statewide, the Liquor and Cannabis Board tracks marijuana sales of $2.8 million a day.
“That seems pretty robust,” Brian Smith, a spokesman for the Liquor and Cannabis Board, said.
For the third quarter of 2015, July through September, cannabis sales in Spokane County came to $12.4 million. That is not as much as book shop’s income of $12.6 million and is beneath the $15.8 million created from arts, entertainment, and recreation during that period, the latest for which the relative information is accessible. Pot deals in the district ascended in the first quarter of 2016 to $14.5 million.
