Oregon Pot: More than $27 million Sold Since January

The Oregon Department of Revenue announced Wednesday that it has collected $6.84 million in marijuana tax revenue the first two months of the year.

With a 25 percent tax rate, that translates to more than $27 million in marijuana having been sold in the state since January 1.

And while there was a slight drop off in tax revenues from January to February - $3.48 million to $3.38 million - collections are still way ahead of what the estimates had been.

There are roughly 320 medical marijuana dispensaries across Oregon that sell recreational pot as well.

The revenue numbers for March will be made available at the end of April.
