Colorado cannabis

Colorado cannabis exceeds its food crops and diverts scarce water from beneficial uses.

In 2021, cannabis in Colorado set another record: $2.22 billion in sales.[1] That does not include an increasing amount of home production.

By comparison, the value of the largest agricultural product (not including dairy) in Colorado for 2021 was $516.9 million for corn. Second was hay at $419.4 million.[2] Third place was wheat at only $267 million.

"'Sales plummet' for recreational and medical marijuana in Colorado," as the 2021-2022 data show a massive drop in cannabis sales.[3]
