Monthly cannabis sales across Colorado since 2014, nominal dollars, with the 12-month average; $111.2 million in July 2026.

Retail cannabis stores in Denver County reported $22.1 million in sales in July 2026, down 4.0% on a year earlier, and medical dispensaries $3.5 million. The county’s retail peak was $55.6 million, in July 2020. Across Colorado, stores sold $111.2 million, down 3.9%.

These are dollars, not grams. Wholesale and shelf prices have moved a long way since legal sales began, and a cheaper ounce lowers the line with no change in how much people buy. Stores in neighbouring counties and states compete for the same customers, so a county’s sales also move with where the shops are.

The figures are what licensed stores report on their sales tax returns, unaudited. The state posts a month about three months after it ends.
