Sales of adult-use cannabis in Illinois jumped by 50% in the last fiscal year. Recreational marijuana sales climbed to 1.5 billion dollars in fiscal year ’22, generating major sales tax revenue for the state says Illinois Department of Revenue spokesperson Maura Kownacki.
Under Illinois law, 25% of sales tax revenue from cannabis sales is set aside for communities that are struggling or have been disproportionately affected by past drug laws. So far, the state has awarded more 113 million dollars in grants to such areas.
