That amount has been figured after the first 6 months of Recreational Cannabis sales started in Nevada. These numbers are reported by The Nevada Department of Taxation.


Million Dollar Baby

From a article on Patch.com, Cannabis sales since July 1st when Recreational Cannabis was available for sale in Nevada have exceeded over $195,000,000 with tax revenue over $30,000,000. The state has also reported almost $11 Million dollars through wholesale tax and over 19 Million from retail tax.
