Illinois to Record $1 Billion Marijuana Sales by Year s End, Surpassing Liquor
On 5/3/21 at 6:02 PM EDT
Illinois is set to record more than $1 billion in sales of adult-use marijuana products this year, with first quarter cannabis tax revenue already surpassing that of alcohol.
The state of Illinois, whose lawmakers are eyeing bankruptcy options amid a huge budget deficit, generated more than $86 million from adult-use marijuana tax revenue between January and March 2021. Illinois received $72 million in revenue from liquor sales. The state has repeatedly broken its own monthly weed sales records, with both in- and out-of-state adult sales hitting $28 million in March alone. During the last quarter, the state Department of Revenue took in more tax dollars from marijuana receipts than alcohol for the first time ever. Adults spent nearly $110 million on recreational cannabis products during just the month of March.

The countdown to casting lines in Wisconsin is over!
Last year, the opener was cancelled as a result of the pandemic, but this year, the tradition returned.
Harold and Jan Treland, owners of Treeland Resorts have hosted it many times. They say it has been fun to see a number of governors come and go.
“It’s a lot of fun. The different personalities and different takes on fishing and the outdoors,” Harold Treland said.
This year, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers tried his luck in the open water.
“It’s a beautiful day, beautiful resort and I m really proud to be here,” Evers said. “Hopefully I can get a walleye, but we ll see.”
