The previous sales record for a day was September 16 of last year, when $6.1 million worth of weed was sold. In addition, $117 million worth of marijuana was sold in the entire month of April, also a record number for the state. The previous sales record for a month was this past December, when $101 million worth of marijuana was sold.

The state of Washington also felt the 4/20 effect this year, selling $5.5 million worth of cannabis on the holiday, which is double what the state sold on the holiday last year. Since the two states have legalized the sale of marijuana, sales of the drug have grown at an amazing rate, and have helped make marijuana a $5.4 billion industry in the United States.
