The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) today released recreational cannabis sales totals for June 2026. Overall, June sales remained consistent with past totals, except for a slight uptick in out-of-state purchases. June sales of $118,149,408.51 dropped slightly from May’s total of $119,828,550.48 but were still the second-highest monthly total of 2026. Out-of-state sales, despite the drop in overall sales, increased from $23,218,222.09 in May to $23,843,989.01 in June.

On average, monthly out-of-state sales in 2025 accounted for about 20% of total sales. Since Illinois switched to a new seed-to-sale track-and-trace data system in July 2025, out-of-state sales have not reached 20% of all sales until this month. Dispensaries in Illinois sold 4,726,016 total items in June, and in-state sales totals were $94,305,419.50.

Illinois switched to a new seed-to-sale track-and-trace data system in July 2025. A note from IDFPR stated, “The State of Illinois went live with a new, state-of-the-art seed-to-sale, track-and-trace data system in July 2025. The new system, Metrc, rolled out across the cannabis industry over several months and concluded in June. The sales tracking features in Metrc help retailers more accurately and reliably report actual sales, including all discounts and promotions at checkout. A thorough review of past data indicates prior months collected some pre-discount prices. The number of items sold remained consistent across months, resulting in the improved data showing cannabis consumers have been paying less at checkout and with pre-tax prices similar to prices in other states that have legalized adult use cannabis. Sales receipts, subject to tax and tax collections, reported directly to the Illinois Department of Revenue by retailers were accurate and not impacted by the non-discounted prices reported through the previous seed-to-sale system.”

2026 total monthly sales include:

January: $110,686,391.60

February: $104,760,737.80

March: $115,431,757.03

April: $115,409,576.27
