The recreational marijuana market in Illinois seems to be getting over the dip it experienced at the beginning of the year, state records show. According to figures released by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR), a total of $132 million was registered from the adult-use cannabis sales made during the month of April. After enjoying strong sales toward the end of last year, there was an unexplained slump in the sales reported during January and February this year. However, the records for March and April indicate that the slump may be a thing of the past and the sector is looking up again. According to the IDFPR, state residents bought recreational marijuana products worth nearly $91 million while adults from out of state bought products worth approximately $41 million. In all, 3,102,233 recreational marijuana products were sold to garner the $132 million in sales for the month of April. This figure only covers recreational marijuana sales since the products sold as medical marijuana products are overseen by a different state agency that releases its own reports.
