State regulators reported that for May, Illinois cannabis sales stayed at about $150 million for the second month in a row and Michigan’s legal sales actually dropped $5 million from last month to $148 million. Meanwhile, Missouri surged almost $7 million in monthly sales in May to $15.5 million.On a related note, Michigan regulators’ monthly reports are now specifically reporting license application statistics for social equity applicants, part of an agency commitment to demonstrate progress in license ownership diversity.
