Illinois consumers pay the second highest taxes in the nation when they buy legal recreational marijuana, but an industry expert says sales may increase with lower taxes.
According to the website Headset, the average item price in Illinois is currently 89% higher than the rest of the U.S. market. With a tax of over 31%, only the state of Washington is higher.
Amanda Reiman with the marijuana analytics company New Frontier Data said if Illinois lowered the taxes on cannabis, it may attract more sales and keep their core consumers. The state of Illinois made $445 million in tax revenue from the sale of legal marijuana in the last fiscal year.

Illinois Recreational Cannabis Sales Reach Highest Level Since 2023Recreational cannabis sales in Illinois have reached a new high in July, generating $924 million in sales so far this year. This marks a 4.3% increase compared to the same period last year. However, the growth rate has been slowing down. In 2022, sales reached $1.55 billion, showing a 12.6% annual increase. While in-state sales have increased by 12.7% through July, out-of-state sales have decreased by 14.4%. One possible reason for this decline is the launch of recreational marijuana sales in Missouri in February, according to a report by cannabis research firm Headset.
