Nev. marijuana sales have another strong month
By Wade Tyler Millward, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Days before the first anniversary of recreational marijuana sales in Nevada, the industry has given the state a present.
Data from the state Department of Taxation show the amount of tax revenue from marijuana has exceeded state projections for the first year — two months ahead of time.
The state collected $6.55 million in marijuana tax revenues in April, bringing the total since recreational sales become legal to $55.53 million, according to the department Thursday.
