Oklahoma collected more medical marijuana tax last month than ever before

Tax collections from Oklahoma's medical marijuana industry set a record high in March.

Cannabis dispensaries generated $7.8 million in total tax revenues last month, according to the Oklahoma Tax Commission. It's the highest total since the first tax dollars were reported in November 2018.

The total consists of the 7% medical marijuana tax assessed on all medical marijuana sales, as well as any state or local sales taxes. Both categories saw increases for the month.

The relatively steady growth in marijuana tax revenue suggests the industry still has room to expand after a year and a half of operation.
