The Oregon Retailers of Cannabis Association estimates that marijuana stores sold more than $11m of marijuana during the state’s first week of legal recreational sales.

The Statesman Journal in Salem reported that Oregon sales outpaced the first week of recreational sales in Colorado and Washington. Colorado’s first week of sales reached $5m. In Washington state, sales during the first month hit $2m.

Retailers of Cannabis Association executive director Casey Houlihan says the first day alone brought in $3.5m in Oregon.

Marijuana stores opened their doors to recreational users on 1 October.
