Thanks to the return of Lollapalooza and the impact of Hot Girl Summer, Illinois saw nearly $128 million roll in in July, making it the biggest marijuana month in the history of the state. It was the first time weed was legal in Lollapalooza’s 30-year-history. Some dispensaries, such as places in River North or the West Loop, saw sales increases of up to 50%.
So far in 2021, Illinois has generated more money off marijuana than all of last year.
